The metallic green striping on some tomato varieties, is spectacular! I've often wondered if it's "structural colour" (similar to iridescent butterfly wings, and beautyberries), rather than pigmentation? Perhaps AI can help me with this query... 🤔

"Pa's Pride" is a beautiful and delicious variety of microdwarf tomato, and I will always grow it, from now on! Look at the size of the tomatoes! This is impressive, for the plant size (about 18 inches tall). These are the best tasting of all my micros.

"Pa's Pride" is the most beautiful microdwarf I've ever grown. The glabrous leaves are quite a rare trait, in Solanum lycopersicon. One variety of my own breeding (selected from a serendipitous mutation) also has them!

Here are some of my new seedlings - "Fat Frog," and "Pa's Pride."

Why is there always one giant, and one tiddler? They tend to catch up in the end, but it's funny how this happens. 🤣
