There were no other flowering spuds around when these were flowering,so this colour variation has to be its original crossing,i would have expected two colours but three??even the two plants that produced the whites are completely different,one round,other elongated.

Anyone can PM me if they would like some of this seasons TPS from "Mystery" which throws the three colours in the photo above,the purple is from a NZ heirloom called Urenika,

the pink one??? ,its pink fleshed as well,the white ??? a great roasting/chipping spud.

I also received a letter from New Zealand in the mail Monday (presumably Medbury Garden's "mystery" TPS, thank you so much!), but I will probably sow them next spring together with some of Durgan's and Tom Wagner's as it may be too late to sow them now (not certainly, I might still get mini-tubers for use as seed potatoes but nothing else).

Richard, I sowed some Mystery TPS few days ago. Will keep you posted.

Great to hear Wendy,look forward to seeing how they go
