  That`s really kind of you, Man. Thanks so much! Thanks, that really is very cool of you!    Damn thing was the hottest pod I ate this year. Hotter than the Chocolate Borg 9, which also tasted like dilute crap. I have this crazy  idea that a food item should taste good and we should breed for...

It`s tough for me to know what`s in Ed`s mind, as I really don`t know him. I do think Tony Sherwood is a very nice guy, though. 

Thanks Jamie, very nice of you to say that.  :halo:   Deadly is about right, yep. I`ll grow out at least 15 plants of that one next year and see. 

  I tend to agree with Grant, take it up with PP right away. You`ll very probably get the seeds, but it could be tomorrow or it could be the end of June.   Other great seed vendors would include Refining Fire Chillis and I`d also look at the Chris Phillips Rare Seed Collection at Puckerbutt...

Here`s one of the best phenotypes from my Chocolate Reaper cross. It`s Reaper x chocolate superhot,  :party: I like it as it is nothing like a Reaper.   I have 3 different phenotypes to take forward to F3, 2 of which have tails. As for this one, "is it hot, you ask?" See the review below.      ...

Wes recently sent me pods of this F1 cross. Beautiful pods that have the flavours of CGN21500, mostly, and are a LOT hotter. Crappy photo,  but they got eaten so fast it`s all I took  :P  

There is a process I call "convergent hybridisation". I see so many new hybrids that look, to all intents and purposes, just like a pre-existing hybrid, it`s crazy. It would be nice if people just chilled the f*ck out and waited until there was something known in the real world as evidence. A...

Just shows how different people have different tastes. I usually hate chocolate superhots, in terms of flavour. Both the douglah and Brown 7-pots are decent, though.I find the Brown 7-pot to be a slightly dilute version of the douglah in terms of flavour. At one point I posted a back to back...

Chris is back in Hospital and had a temp of 104°F 2 days ago and a systemic staph infection. He`s on heavy duty IV antibiotics at the moment (Vancomycin), but is a little better today (15th December). He`ll be in Hospital for another few days until they get the infection under control, but he is...

Been looking for over 3 years and have grown out 7 or 8 cardenasii F1 crosses, with both pubescens and eximium. As cardenasii is self-incompatible you need a minimum of 2 plants to get fruit and they appear to prefer cross-pollination over anything else, so isolation is key. A number of people...

Have you seen the photos on the Pepperfriends forum? Claudio and Leonardo just got back from Bolivia with photos of caballeroi and minutiflorum. They spent a day in Brazil and saw dusenii and shottianum, plus maybe a new species. I was meant to go, but had to have back surgery instead. Great...

Capsicum caballeroi, no question whatsoever. 

  That is an awesome idea!!! 

Hmmmm, I guess these are top of my list,   C.tovarii - I have a plant I`m trying to O/W C.lanceolatum - I got 7 pods this year, so hoping for 8 next year. I found this to be the most difficult Capsicum I`ve ever grown C.cardenasii - still searching for the elusive pure cardenasii after growing 7...

The fund raiser stands at an amazing $7173 as of 5.28pm, Monday 7th December.   Chris went home from Hospital today, after the 2nd round of chemotherapy with a pretty big hitting, nasty drug. He says everything tastes like sh*t, when he isn't nauseous, and he`s losing a lot of weight. It`s not...

Unusual varieties? I may have grown one or three.   Cumari do Para remains my favourite and is the one I`d hope everyone got to taste at least once.    A few others,   CGN 20800, CGN 21500, Cheiro roxa, Fidalgo roxa, Suriname 8 (CGN 24331), Aji Jobito - all C.chinense.   PI 585273, CAP 867...

Thanks to everyone who has taken time to either read about Chris, set up sales, auctions or donated anything at all to his cause.    I can`t claim credit for much, there are A LOT of people helping out and doing various things. I`m just the head of the snake, as it were, ready to be lopped off...

Sorry, I`ve been out of THP for a while.    The Fundraising site is linked directly to Chris` PayPal account and the funds go to him in real time during the campaign. The money goes to nobody else and the only fees are those of PayPal. While having any fees is far from ideal, it`s the best I...

Not really Steffen, other than the fund raising site itself. We ran a FB group to organise things initially, but that isn`t really being used much now. I could set one up if people thought it was a good idea. Let me know in this thread.   Currently, the FundRaiser stands at $6593 at 12.15pm...

Hell Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!
