Potato Flowers
Xref: kermit uk.rec.gardening:209612
"Charles Thorpe" wrote in message ... First time growing spuds, I always thought potato flowers were white and fairly insignificant. Mine are a lovely pale purple with an orange centre, variety is "Tesco New Potato"! Saw them sprouting in the store, bought 'em and continued chitting them. Don't know why, but feel quite chuffed with them. Got them in a stack of tyres (4 deep) and they're about 3 feet above the top of those! -- Regards, Charles Unobfuscate to reply by mail vnews a in a ring cthorpe roundblob ukfsn anotherblob org "I really cannot tolerate intolerance" ------------------------------ The flowers are quite normal and do vary with each variety. Commercial potato 'seed' growers identify rogues by their differing foliage and flowers. Be aware that fruits may follow looking very similar to tomatoes but are poisonous. Deadly nightshade etc. is of the same family. Regards Brian. |
