Hi Daffnetters ,
Thanks for the feedback on the photos.
Noeline M — yes , your observations on the colour of Gold Conventions cup is something the locals have also noticed this season.
If it was a new variety this year it would certainly be classified as 2Y YO.It has been far more orange than most seasons , — also for all growers.
We have concluded it is probably the very wet season we have had. Not as much sunshine as usual , also less frosts.
It,s seldom one cause , but definetly more orange.
Ralph S. — Marilyn — 3W-YR — won the novice grade growers premier.
Sorry Nancy T — tried 2 postings of 3 photos will do 3 postings x 2 photoes
