Default Kitten Paws F3

This line is the RL pink mini-beef selected last year from a cross of Stupice and Black Cherry. All six plants have gorgeous big flowers with 7,9,10 to 13 petals, and cluster size 7 to 10. Certainly none of them are leaning towards cherry size.
Recessive alleles were after all lurking in the F2. One of six F3's is a PL. And one of six has a black type flower, which tells me that the gf allele may have also contributed to the dark green of the immature F2 fruit and their great taste.
These are also segregating for earliness - a 50/50 split between 51 and 57 days to flower.
Pink(same as red) type flowers shown first, and then the black type flower.
