Hello,
I have few potato plant from tom's TPS in my garden but i lost the names, in order to recover who is who I need to know the color of the flowers of the varieties I seeded.
It was :
-AWOL DUDE
-DIdirus
-HUAGALINA
-MARIS PIPER
-YUNGAY
I was aslo wondering if you could put on your store some seeds of wild species, especially S. phureja.
Many thanx.

Many thanx tom that's helps, but strangely it doesn't match with one of my plant who show very light blue flowers, maybe the tubers will match a description.
You will have a seed order as soon as I will see the wild species on your store.

Cyril,
Since you have plants grown from TPS, the seedlings are segregating for flower color if selfed and if crossed with other varieties...those additional colors into the mix will throw off most chances of trying to tie them back to the mother line alone. I could tell more by the tuber colors, size, and shapes.
Also, I won't be adding seed lines to the catalog listing soon....way too busy to do that now.
As far as TPS with high rates of sugar...what do you mean? Most reds will be naturally higher in sugars and a couple of tests could determine that....thin slicing them and cooking in oil and those turning dark will be higher in sugars. A simple taste from simple boiling will give you a range of slightly sweet sensations to near none at all.

In fact i was meaning more like 'amandine',It gave very tasty french fries, no need ketchup or any sausage with it.
It was very common in the stores but it has dissapeared few years ago just like that.

Cyril, I suppose you're French. Amandine is one of the most common as tubers. You can get it in Bricomarché, Jardiland and others, but hurry up next year, it's an early type : 90 days to harvest. A Mariana x Charlotte cross. The later is among the most cultivated varieties in France along with Bintje.
My grandmother planted some on March as usual and the tubers went huge.
I think you find it to have high sugar content because you tasted it as primeur.
My experience with that variety is that it's really, really susceptible to late blight and it stores bad. I have TPS of it, I can get rid of it if you wish. You might manage to get them to survive blight. I didn't.

You're right about me I'm french.
Yes we can still find it to grown but not anymore to cook in supermarket.
I tasted it always fry but i didn't finded it primeur all the time and even when it was not I still finded the taste above the average of the other varieties available.
I am interested to try amandine by seeds but I was wondering if tom have something similar or better in his TPS.
