This year I planted some Calliope Aubergines (seeds from T&M). These should have fruit which are white and purple stripes - very decorative. However one of the fruits has turned out to be yellow - all the other fruit on the same plant are "normal". How weird is that??

Best wishes,

"we all live in a yellow aubergine, a yellow aubergine, a yellow aubergine" a well known ditty from the be-atles.
very strange, a mutation of some kind? It would be easier to explain if all the fruits were like it, e.g. a throw back to a parent,or as simple as the wrong seed finding its way into the packet. no I give up, cant explain that one.s.tart.
