   The reason I put "white" in quotes is because they never, ever,
not-even-for-a-moment were white.  Not pale green, not ivory, not
cream colored or even a shade I could rationalize as being white.
Just regular green to bright yellow, no signs of other shades yet.
   I wouldn't get frustrated if these were seeds I had saved.  And
I don't mind the occaisional surprise, but I would prefer that I get
what I pay for more often than is the recent case.
