Default what striped cherry tomatoes are red/green

I can't recall the name of the a cute little cherry tomato from last year. It is red and green stripes like the bumble bee variety we grew.

anyone know which tomato that might be?

Purple bumble bee turned out quite red/green striped for me, perhaps that is what you remember?

This image from http://www.rareseeds.com/purple-bumble-bee-tomato/ shows the color I had better than the pictures at http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/Purple_Bumble_Bee

Probably no one has anything like this. I got the seeds from store bought tomato in 2014.
I call it Tiger Grape.

Thanks everyone! I'm thinking it was the purple bumble bee. That Tiger Grapes is pretty! Vernissage is a name not at all familiar.

Now I know what seed was saved. One of the gardeners took photos of the tomatoes to document what the seeds came from, but didn't write down the name on that one. I know we had a few of the bumble bee and I think one was a yellow and red maybe called sunrise or sun surprise, haven't looked up the bumble bee group.

Thanks.

Black Vernissage is a little bigger, more like a saladette.

Gardeneer, I have a very similar variety. I don't know the correct name. Maybe it is Ania: http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/Ania

Not going to be what you grew, but figured i'd chime in anyway. I grew what was known last year as Wildx5, now named Wild Zebra. Bred by Joseph Lofthouse. An interesting tomato with some wild heritage.
