Never even heard of them but if you want a good recomendation i would go for Candid Charm or Cornell, they have never let me down in 4/5 years

I have got my head round purple caulis and green romanesco but orange is taking things a bit far.

The purple or orange or green cauliflowers taste much the same as the white ones. Romanesco do taste better for me.

true, we always get good results from romanesco, think I'll give the orange ones a miss, 2.20 for 5 seeds seems a bit excessive, even for a seedaholic  ;D
