Potatoes - Purple-Eyed Seedling

I haven't grown this but it looks interesting. Alan Romans says that it is believed to have originated at the University of Aberystwyth, and I think A.R. has cleaned it up using microplant technology. No information yet on cooking quality.

I am grateful to Chris Hitchcock and William Whitehead for permission to photograph this sample, which was on display at Painswick Rococo Gardens during October 2008.
