Wiri's 2019 Adventures with "Wilds" & Others Glog

It's  always  exciting to acquire hard-to-find seeds of  wilds and take them to the next few levels  in
the hope of achieving the ultimate goal of pods ....Mingled with the wilds will be
some others that should make for an interesting season..Will be  adding some more to the list.

Haven't posted of recent d/t having to spend much time with some work on our home that I was designated to monitor...challenge
gladly accepted...now almost completed,despite the heat the workers went about their work diligently.
The weather for the most part of  the last 2 weeks has not been kind to my plants so growth has been sporadic,fallen blossoms etc.
.temp swing 30+F ..last week mid 90's this week 50's @noc..not much to do ~that..just have to put up with this sort of happening.

Purple flower flexuosum..some pods ripened very early & are tiny. orangish.d/t what..IDNK..hopefully these many buds will have staying power.

Lanceolatum...lost all flowers..d/t significant  temp variability with the remaining bud formation eaten by the Asiatic Beetle..can't win always but you can't give in nor give up. ;)

Decided to try something different to isolate some seeds as I didn't like covering my entire plant nor using my previous glue together
bag...so I got into thinking why not a tea bag,worth a try..so emptied it & and with some maneuvering sealed it with an orchid clip.
Then will leave the clip on the stem as a marker...will see...drawback,it's small,heck how many iso does one need?Can do one @ a time ..then bag another,its all 'bout the bag. ;)

Keep us updated on the teabag method! I've been trying out some iso-techniques myself. I really dislike glueing the flowers; it's messy, my fingers get sticky and it doesn't even seem to work. The flower just browns up and falls off. I'm also not keen on bagging a whole branch, it just doesn't look good.
 
For now I'm resorting to just emasculating a flower and pollinating it with another flower from the same plant. Like you'd do a cross, but just with the same plant. It's a bit more work than necessary I think.
 
Love the wilds, too! They're just beautiful!
 
Update on tea bag isolation try.
I had fairly good success for a first time spur of the moment let me give this idea  a try..out of the 6 bags I attached 2 of the peppers
stem dried up...and 4 stayed on till the  flower fell of & I left the orchid clip on as a marker..will give this some more thought  for next year.
I will check around for bigger tea bags,the bags for  tea (LIPTON) is bigger if I recall.
This was a just a first time trial...will see what other ideas I(or others) can come up with. :P
