Bridge Over Troubled Water Yellow

Bridge Over Troubled Water Yellow Tomato

The yellow variant designated as Bridge Over Troubled Water Yellow (Bridge Over Troubled River Yellow / Bridge Over Storm Water Yellow / Мост над Неспокойной Водой Желтый) is a distinct colour segregation derived directly from the breeding project of Russian breeder Lyudmila Kodzasova.
