Pandora's Box
Last summer one of my breeding lines generated a unique segregant that really got my attention. Orange and striped on the outside, and bright lime green inside. Working name is Pandora's Box.

Could the lateness be partly the blame of the cool crummy weather we had last "summer" ??
I know here in Wi, we didn't really have a spring and summer didn't get here til about mid to late July. Maybe with a normal summer it will be more of a normal ripe time. Carol |

That's a lot of recessive genes going on there. Good catch.

Remind mind me Mark, what was it that flew out of Pandora's box when it was opened?

In the myth, the opening of Pandora's Box introduced evil into the world. My intent was to capture the notion that you can't tell a book by it's cover - or the inside of a tomato from the outside.

Carolyn - you've got me second guessing myself on the name. I'll let this simmer for a while, it won't be stable for a couple of years.

Maybe I'm showing my age but since it isn't really a true red as much as it looks like one, how about "Fellow Traveler"?
