The Clancy potato plants are smaller compared to the conventional, seed-potato potato plants that were planted later (Algonquin, Russet, Kennebec, Envol) but are mostly sturdy, healthy looking plants and most are blooming. The flower colors vary from purple, to lavender, to pink, to almost white. At the end of one row of Clancy are two Algonquin plants, larger with white flowers and yellow stamens.
I think I'll let them bloom and see if any seeds develop. I don't think I'll go to much effort, such as hand pollinating. Just to see what happens.
