Holstein *

This big apple with the bovine name is slightly ribbed with a layered, variegated peel.

Start with yellow-green with streaks of spring green.

Add a thin red blush for an orange-brown effect covering maybe two thirds; put streakey dribs and drabs of more-saturated red inside the blush. There's an O of coppery russet around the base. Light lenticels are barely visible except where russetted over. The shiny peel gives a satiny finish.
