Lemon Boy tomato growers... ever grow a plant that produces orange fruit?

I was expecting a deep yellow color but what I got is a deep orange similar to a Kellogg's Breakfast --this is not a yellow tomato. I grew it from seed and the package SAYS it will produce bright yellow fruit.

The seeds are from Lake Valley seed (Boulder, CO)

And my Black Cherries weren't as dark and lovely as in past years.

Is it the strange weather we had this summer? Can't say. But just wanted you to know that you aren't the only one with odd colors in the garden this year.
