I suspect that the fault is mine. The plants were sold to me as 
"Bolivian Rainbow" but I now think that they had crossed with some 
other variety. Also since I grew the plants open pollinated it is 
quite likely that they crossed again before you got the seeds. I am 
extremely sorry for such sloppy work and will try harder in future.

This year I am growing "Bolivian Rainbows" from seeds provided kindly 
by Diane in Flanders. They have the dark purple leaves and almost 
black fruit. None has ripened yet; so I cannot describe the color 
changes, but I think that these are the real McCoy.

Silly old Cardinal.
