I'm not a tomato expert by far but I believe these are the same, if what I've read elsewhere by Carolyn is true :





(first introduced as 'Olympic Flame' but the Olympic committee would not allow, so the name was changed to 'Old Flame'. 'Olympic Flame' should probably be listed as a "also sold as" name. )

I've also read that the name 'Flame' has been incorrectly applied to Old Flame, Hillbilly & Jaune Flammee. I'm not sure if a true cultivar called 'Flame' even exists. Shrug!

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Old Flame')

It's a muddle that I don't feel comfortable trying to sort out so I thought I'd rather bring the topic up for discussion for those more knowledgeable in this area.

Thanks! Smiling
