Thanks for all the replies and compliments.
Update. Below is another Orange Russian 117 tomato from the same plant. This I believe is a little more typical of the coloration for this variety. OrangeRussian117e.JPG OrangeRussian117d.JPG Dutch

Yep Carolyn, that Orange Russian 117 sure is beauty and thanks for the “sunshine” again Marsha.
It may get below freezing tonight so I have been picking like crazy the last two days. I had a hard time telling the difference between “Russian 117 Not” and “Olena”. Below are some interesting pictures of the “Russian 117 Not” next to “Olena”. “Russian 117 Not” pictured on the left and “Olena” pictured on the right.What do you think?

They look pretty darn close, but the Tomatobase says Olena is potato leaf.

(Edit) On second thought I am not so sure they were from the same plant. I did grow two plants. Dutch

We do not have to wait til tomorrow morning. I have some pictures of the Olena Ukrainian tomato plants I grew this year and it sure looks like a PL to me. So the mystery continues.

Agreat variety, andnot just my opinion. ![]() Carolyn
