Any #tomato geeks out there who can reckognize this as a variety?
Found it today. I’m excited about it having big, open flowers (means it can cross-pollinate and continue to adapt to my climate and way of growing), has potato leaves (which means I can identify crosses if they get normal leaves), beautiful color and very good flavor. I’ve looked through the named tomatoes I have in my gene pool but can’t find a match.

I can't stop thinking about this tomato and wonder if it might become a backbone of the future tomato types I will grow. The test will be how well it does in open field without any staking, which is how I want to grow all my other tomatoes. This year, it had the benefit of growing in a sheltered spot in the city. If it grows well outside, I'm pretty sure it has the potential to become the mother for many new tomatoes.

*No* staking! Wow, I’d be worrying about splash diseases on leaves, but you must be selecting for terrific resistance.

Actually, even it does terrible in open field, it has all the other criteria I'm looking for in a good tomato. The work I would need to do is to let it cross with something that does well in open field and then look for a descendant that will have that ability and still keep the open flower, very good flavor and fancy color.

You got it. My main criteria is tomato that can produce fruit in open field with no staking, including good disease resistance. I basically want a field tomato with little maintenance that can freely interbreed and thus gradually adapt to my location. I'm in a normally very humid summer climate, so late blight is huge thing, but this is all changing too potentially - this year we've had record little rain the last 9 months, so late blight is less of a problem for me this season.

@exil_inselette The coloring looks very different to me! That's a bicolor tomato. The green is more army green on Ania and this one I would describe as a tricolor tomati, having a yellow background with red stripes on top and then dark red brown stripes on top of that.

@exil_inselette That's the question - doesn't look it from a quick view on her other varieties.

Mystery solved. The fruit is Brad's Atomic Grape. And the reason why it had potato leaves and large flowers is ... it came from a neighbouring plant. They had tangled up in each other I mistakenly thought it was a cross. Too bad, but clearly a cross waiting to happen!
