October17, The pole beans would be all of the greasy beans, any runner or half runner. There are also several that have pole in their name, making those pretty easy to spot. Bean, Big & Early White Greasy Bean, Blue Coco Bean, Brown Striped Greasy Bean, Brown Tobacco Worm Bean, Haricot Dolique Bean, Ideal Market Bean, Lazy Housewife Pole Bean, Maxibel Bean, Missouri Brown Bean, Mountaineer Half Runner Bean, Pencil Pod Bean, Rattlesnake Pole Bean, Riggins Stick Bean, Small White Greasy Bean, Spartan Runner Bean, Sunset Runner Bean, White Half Runner I think that is about all of the pole beans. What varieties of tomatoes do you have available? I looked at your trade list, but it doesnt have any tomatoes listed as being available.

Crazy moment, when aren't I :0! but I grow California Wonder last year and yielded 2 peppers! one my son uprooted the whole plant, in his pride of harvesting :) but the taste! oh sensational after the store brought stuff, this year I am doing those and takkis Ace, they both have thin walls in my experience, but the taste is good and this is my point, I used them both in Annie's salsa, but I over cooked and over processed one lot, and they where mush! but the first lot done properly the peppers held together really well, nice chunks, so could it be the cooking rather than the peppers?

You are right it is a NOID plant, meaning it has no I.D. or petigree as a variety. So you'll never find it listed anywhere. But, you may find a few close to it (maybe close to the parent plants used in the cross) But, it should never be identified as one variety, or another. Just enjoy it for what it is...different but, pretty! But, still a noid! The African Violet Society of America frowns badly on naming a plant as a variety when it's not offically I.D'ed, or registered with The AV Society of America as such. And is considered dishonest to do so. Your plant was probably one of a thousand random genetic crosses when grown from seed, and the breeder sold the rejected plants for whatever reason, but, usually becaue they saw it as genetically inferior for whatever they were looking to accomplish as a new variety. So, the breeder sold them on the open market rather than destroy the whole crop of a thousand plants. Just for the sake of one or two plants for further cross breeding. (money, money money !) So each baby plant is/was slightly different from it's siblings, yet still unstable genetically. they were they not named or registered! Which costs $$$ and time to do! Even though each plant will grow, flower, and be healthy other wise, it's just not a named variety.. I once had an AV that was a named variety at the time, that had all white, with blue speckled flowers, and varigated leaves which grew this way for years. Then SUDDENLY one day it changed! It changed to all white, with blue speckled flowers, and varigated leaves on exactly half of the plant, and dark blue flowers, and dark leaves on exactly half of the opposite half of the AV! You could actually see the dividing line exactly down the middle of the two types on this plant! Even to any flowers on the dividing line were half white/speckled and half Dk blue! Leaves, on the dividing line were exactly half varigated, half dk green! It was weird to look at! But, so cool! That was back in the 1970's BTW, The African Violet Society of America (or AVSA for short) has a huge A-Z research library of named varieties on they're website that you can research offical pictures, and discriptions of named varieties that are accepted as genuine varieties, and registered with them as such. You can become a member if you like for a membership fee, and they also offer an AV picture and discription data base on computer disc which has monthly updates that can be downloaded . Also for a fee. The AVSA is considered the Hall mark of recognized varieties. And is the final word on AV varieties. You can even breed your own type of new plant, or color combination, etc. and if you can get that specific plant's genetic's to remain stable for 3-4 generations from seed, you can then name it anything you wish, and register it with The AVSA. There are local AV groups in your area you can join that will have AV shows, with plants, cuttings, seeds, etc. for sale cheaper than anywhere else! Also state wide shows with other groups in each state, America wide shows, and International AV shows, and expo's. just like dog or cat petigree shows, (but without all the barking, meowing, leashes, flying hair, and cages!) AVSA will have all that info, with pictures, and more on they're website for you! They may still have a seed exchange library still available free to members. I hope that explanation, and information helps you.

It looks like the variety of papaya that you are asking about is called "Caliman" only because Mr. Caliman who started growing papayas in Mexico in 1994, named the variety after himself, when he started selling them. I have grown vairous types of papayas for some time, and have never heard of a variety called Caliman. However, that does not necessarly mean that it could not exist. There is, however, a yellow skin variety, with orange flesh (pinkish or redish/orange) that is a Solo variety native to Hawaii. The variety is called Hawaii Solo Sunset. You can see it at Aloha Seed's web site. Just type Aloha Seed in you search box, and at their home page click on papaya seed. I hope this helps you. BTW, Some of the varieties that I presently grow are Hawaii Solo Sunset and it is delicious. - Take care - Millet
