B037

Kierkegaard · June 17, 2012

I bought these seeds from Hong Kong on ebay. They were badly described and came to me in this fake-looking seed packet, which I posted in the Indigo Rose thread:

I googled the number on the seed packet, "B037," and this is the one piece of actual writing I could find on them:

So, what do you guys think about this? The lack of information is really bothering me. I got my plants of it mixed up with my Indigo Roses, so I'm not sure what they look like yet.

If it's any help my Indigo Rose plants are definitely Blueish purple.

And another obviously Photoshopped picture of tomatoes on their site. Shame on them.

They could at least have done a better job!!

I was pruning the other night, and the smallest of my four original plants had a sucker with a purple streak on it, so I put it in some water. I remember thinking some of the seedlings were exceptionally bluish, but none of the plants really are now. It's getting its sun stolen by a Black Krim and a squash so I may have to move it.

My other plants have eggplant-shaped fruit. Is this characteristic of Indigo Rose? I'm having trouble telling the foliage of my mixed plants apart or from cherries, really.

I was looking at (the plants I'm pretty sure are) them today and they had turned a deep orange. Unfortunately I had to throw all the ripe ones away due to pervasive blossom end rot that I didn't notice until a couple weeks ago. I thought about digging up the one in my window box and putting something I understood in its place, but I think I'll keep it.
