nice looking accidental cross
This year Sylvan Guame, one of my favorite heart shaped tomatoes, looks like I saved some seed that produced an accidental cross. The flavor is very good and has bits of both SG and a black. I am saving this seed just to see what happens next year.

They look tasty. I don't know if you would call them striped or not, but they look that way to me. Good luck with the F2s.

That color pattern reminds me of a Russian variety named "Arbuznyi". The purple-ish, maroon skin broken by that exact striping pattern was dominant in the early portion of the ripening process.
