If it is some sort of cross, I may be the source. Was Glacier a "pink labeled" pack?
A tall healthy PL plant with blunt heart-shaped fruit sounds like half, or more, of the plants I've had in my garden for the past few years. I couldn't tell you what experimental one it may be a cross from, though. I've been getting PL blunt hearts from a completely unknown variety (working name for this experimental PL heart is "Kardia Karpos"), from Aunt Ginny's Purple, "Prudence" (hi Carolyn ) Purple, and Granny's Heart. I SWN for anything that's PL and heart-shaped. Gary |

Holy cow, KarenO, it's the magic of Mystery Maters... somehow you ended up with yet another PL heart, the very thing you desired!!
While my 'Sasha's Altai' turned out to be a mystery piriform, in response to my craving for pear shapes this year. There is no accounting for it other than magic.... who (not even I) could have predicted which one of the dozens of 'non-pear' varieties I would actually grow this 'year of the pears'. |

Hmm, you both got what you unexpectedly were looking for.
I think I'd like some beans, something along the lines of a Jack, a giant, and a goose that lays a... Gary |

Gary,
How about a golden tomato? My Chadwick had some very pretty golden fruit. At first I thought I'd mixed it up with Jaune Flammee, but now that JF has ripened I can tell that they are different! Linda |

Mamie Brown's Pink.... wondering who might have sent this into the swap and if there is any background for it? I love it and for it's return!

Perhaps a bad summer. I can't remember what other ones I was growing that season and how they did. I can only hope that yours does better, but in all the descriptions I've not seen it described as PL,which does make me wonder. But you'll know soon enough when you see the fruits/ Carolyn

Blast from The Past
can someone remind me what the growth habit and DTM of this is. I really should keep a journal ..
The new neighbor kiddos might enjoy the color in their salad. Maybe I can talk their papa into starting a dwarf garden for them. Thanks. Quote:
