Does anyone know - does Crown Prince only produce "blue" fruit?

Just trying to work out what fruit belongs wo which plant and I have some regular CP, but also something the same size and shape in a dark yellow.

Any ideas?

Tasted one last year, absolute heaven, definitely something I must grow next time round (along with so many other things  :D ).

Crown Prince will go orange, if you store them until next June! The best I can think of is Vif Rouge D'Etampes which is orange and ribbed, your classic Cinderella pumpkin, and in the books Kentucky Field/syn Cheesecake but I have never seen the seeds offered in this country.

My crown princes all stayed blue grey, until the last one from last year went on the compost heap before we went on our summer hols.  I think I have seeds for Vif RdE saddad.  I will have a looksie tomoz.

It's Kentucky Field I've never seen E-J I have some Etampes thanks..

Some seed cos state Crown Price is F1, others don't.

Is it F1, or can the seeds be stored?

[saddad]

Unless you have grown it in isolation the F1 is immaterial as they are all very promiscuous... and you will not get what you had!
