Yes, the beat does go on.

Terry got her CC seeds from both France and Solana Seeds in Canada. Terra Edibles and Solana both were offering a light colored CC and both are in Canada. Ventmarin in France called it a "cerise" ( cherry) and showed a light colored CC.

I have a problem with this variety originating in France and being called Champagne Cherry instead of Champagne Cerise, or the reverse.

So yes, we have an answer from Sunset, and thanks for that, but for me it doesn't solve the problem of all places who offer seeds for CC showing a light colored cherry whereas Sunset is the only one calling it red.

Hopefully some comparison growouts will help solve this problem, if there is indeed a problem here, and I tend to think there is.
