Posts 246, 248 and 250 all refer to a black cherry, but that changes in post 253 to a purple cherry described as having a clear epidermis.
I know many varieties that have purple as part of the name and you folks do as well,such as
Eva Purple Ball
Prudens Purple
Aunt Ginny's Purple, and all are pink since the word purple was often used to describe a pink .
If the epidermis was clear on your purple it would be pink,if it was yellow it would be a much darker color.
The only two varieties I know of that actually do have some purple are Purple Smudge and Orange Fleshed Purple Smudge.

Tania hasn't grown it and descibes it as black, I have,it's not black it really is purple and yes ribbed, and one of the most beautiful varieties I've ever grown,but taste is awful for me and same for most other SSE listed members as does Purple Calabash.
Over and out,
