   The main physical difference was the color of the skin, more of a blue-green   
   than true blue. Also, the Tokyo Blue seemed more spherical. The Buttercup   
   produced significantly more    
   fruits per plant so we'll do those in the coming garden season as opposed to   
   the Tokyo Blues.

   Not yet but I told my wife about them and she ordered some seeds for this   
   year.
