Mayan Gold and Mayan Twilight

[Ambiorix]

Tom Wagner or another person knows he the new varieties of potatoes created by Scot (SCRI):les solanum phureja mayan gold and mayan twilight?
I come of planted some plantations and I look for the genetic relatives(parents) of these potatoes.
Here is a presentation(display) of these varieties.

If you planted seed potatoes in May you have probably already harvested. It would be interesting to see your comments or even pictures. More use of phurejas in Europe would probably be good and certainly interesting.

Flowers appeared in July but as it was very warm, there were no blooms thus no berries.



Here are photos of the collected tubers.










Remark on the taste:potatoes delicious roasted in the oven in the Mediterranean method (garlic, rosemary, oil)

I like the look of phureja twilight Ambiorix.
How did the taste test go?? looks like it may be a waxy type

Both look like fingerlings to me, so they may be high in protein (vaxy) and tasty, and would probably be good in a salad in addition to Ambiorix's "Mediterranean" style.

In German

Mayan Gold:nussiger geshmack mit cremiger, aber trockner textur

Mayan Twilight:sehr feinezelliges fruchtfleish ,leicht süsslich/herzhaflt,hauch von marzipan

In English

Mayan Gold:Taste of walnut with creamy, but dryer texture


Mayan Twilight:very fine-cellular fruchtfleish, lightly(easily) mawkishly / herzhaflt, breathe from marzipan


I have comments only in German.

I tried to translate into English

translating for Twilight: fine textured flesh, slightly to moderately sweet, aroma has a hint of almonds.
