Yes, all of mine should be orange and even if one or two aren't all that orange this year, they should be in the next generation.

I'm planting the 1250 Kline again, as it threw the most orange AG I've ever grown. I'm hoping my 1317 Rose shows something close to as nice as its Momma! Biz , I hope to get as fortunate and meet Todd someday...his pumpkins have added alot to this ridiculous pursuit of big orange.

Orange and only orange here, my 2 daughters and I are growing 3 plants here in our backyard patch. 1159 Richards,

We are growing the 789 Steeves. It has a beautiful hardy bright orange color to it and won Elizabeth perfect pumpkin at Windsoe wiegh-off in 2006. Very surprized that not more growers who are after orange are not planting this seed.
