I received seed for a c maxima squash going by the name of JJ Niles. I have not been able to find out more about it from the usual sources.
Reason I ask here is this: the original seeds were brown. When I saved my own seed (bagged) from this cultivar, the seeds were white. A bit unusual because white seededness is a recessive trait.
I did ask my OS about this and got told that the seeds must have been dried a bit quickly to turn brown. I like to think that I can tell the difference!....... but who knows. The OS did not however confirm that the seeds are definitely white, beyond that casual remark about how the seeds must have been dried.
I will grow this variety again (from own seeds, no donor seeds left) to see whether I have been given OP seeds or a cross, but hopefully somebody here knows this variety and can tell me what the variety should be like.
Are there any c maxima cultivars that can be brown and white seeded?

Oh dear! The fact that nobody seems to have heard of this squash speaks volumes I fear ..... anybody?
