I will continue to list it as Prudence Purple, mostly because "Seed Savers" lists it as Pruden's Purple. Over the years, that organization has had a huge amount of "pink" tomatoes, listed as "red" tomatoes, and refused to make any corrections. Also, someone once asked me if they could list a pole bean that was discovered in my garden, and named by me. I was perfectly fine with it being listed. Until... This bean is a "wax" or yellow bean. However, it's color is a mix of pink and yellow, getting more pink as the growing season progresses, often turning almost solid vibrant pink. Its color turns to all yellow when cooked. The person who listed it said that "Seed Savers" would in no way list it under pole wax beans. It is, in no way, a green colored bean. So, Prudence Purple for a tomato it will be with me. and Flamingo as a pole wax (flat podded "Romano"-type) bean, too. |
