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.
