In homage to Dennis' guess the variety on the bountiful plate, I offer a more humble and smaller 3 easy varieties. If they haven't been identified, I'll post the answer tonight. Thanks to Dennis for this fun and informative idea.

Cheryl, I only wish your guesses are accurate. You should see me do a jig if you want to see true embarrassment. : )

Devlsgro, it looks very similar to me too but it's not.

A clue is the purple has purple in its name and bred to do well in the south. The brown is the king in the south and Thomas Jefferson once owned the green/ yellow variety. Try as often as you like.
