It seems to me that if it were German Red Strawberry it would have been listed that way,rather than just German Red,. which then gets us into trouble since there's also and Orange Strawberry,which someone changed to German Orange Strawberry, but the latter was a stray seed found in a packet of commercial Pineapple Seeds.

First, German Red Strawberry.

Here's what I'm talking about as to German Orange Strawberry.

Carolyn, here's my reasoning: first - Solana lists it as German Strawberry, not German Red. Secondly, I find very few sites that mention a variety called just German Strawberry, and ((thirdly) the sites that do list it do so mostly as a red. Last, the photos of ripe fruit look the same. Admittedly, Solana calls its German Strawberry red-pink and early, while Tatiana lists it as midseason, so there's room for doubt.
