Capsicum Rhomboideum

A very cool plant extremely strong and fast growth this plant was started on August 16th and sprouted on August 26th. It has extremely early lignification. I can see the start of flowers buds. sorry for the seedling pic I used a terrible phone camera for that but you can still the incredibly small size of this species seedlings

Nice pics Rob 
 
This is one of the toughest wilds I have seen. It lives for years and year and tolerates harsh conditions.

Yes, The dark color goes away once the plant gets bigger and moved outside under the sun

Nice. I always thought these were difficult to germinate. Good job.
Yes they are hard to germinate, But easy to grow and easier to overwinter 
 
May I ask where you sourced your seeds? I'd really like to give some of the more rare varieties a try, but until now I haven't had much luck. I did some tepins and the "wilds" from fatalii and semillas, but those weren't the most exotic varieties. Are you planning to trade/sell the seeds when you get your first harvest?
