I wonder if I have crossed seed then, mine are green. The seed company is really good though. Hmm.Sort of. They are sort of whitish when they first start, but fairly quickly turn yellowish and then rusty orange (I have yet to see one turn fully chocolate brown, like the pictures show).
And yes I think they are a Kiva type. Actually THREE of mine should be Kivas, since Russian Netted is (like Brown Russian, but spherical instead of long*) and I think Sambar is as well (as I said, I like Kivas) . As far as I know, the Borneo Jungle cucumbers are not (the last plants in the row aren't cucumbers at all, they're my round white horned melons.)
*Note that, since BOTH of these two are sometimes called the portmanteau of "Brown Russian Netted", it can be quite hard to tell which you are actually getting from any seed seller. Brown Russian is more common. I have ONE source for Russian Netted, and I keep it permanently bookmarked. )
