This cross is in fact the only one from which I have seeds left to offer, 5 pods developed... - so you may try it out if you'd like, just throw me a PM...;) But to see pods you will just have to take a look at the mother variety as the crossing does not affect pod development... Here's a link...

Oh, forgot to make status on my crossings of this year... It seems I have had success with the following crosses: - Thai Orange x Small Wild from Mexico (annuum x annuum) - Thai Orange x Goat's Weed (annuum x annuum) - Small Wild from Mexico x Naga Morich (annuum x chinense) - Small Wild...

If you want to know more about crosses and genetics, here is a great link to a museum dedicated to Mendel... Just click on the box on the right for a nice show! http://www.mendel-museum.org/ger/1online/experiment.htm

For a blocky bell type pepper, I would say Giallo di Cuneo, it has a strong pepper flavour and is very sweet and crunchy. I am also growing my own F3/F4 sweet bell peppers from a crossed Rogueland's Red Bell which all have soo much of that strong peppery flavour I am looking for mixed with a...

For sauce making I would recommend some kind of rocoto, too (capsicum pubescens) To me they are some of the hottest...

Let's give the man some names on seed companies - here a my top choices when it comes to reliability... http://www.peppermania.com/ http://www.semillas.de/ (very nice selection, if you don't understand German, they do ship worldwide, maybe use Google Translate... http://google.com/translate_t )

I think there's a problem with the taxonomy - I have seen two flowers on sveral nodes on a baccatum variety named "Francos Aji" I am growing this year... Fruits are very large and heavy, about 1½-twice the size of a Jalapeño I would say... Some pics...

Just an update on my Quintisho growing... it is not working for me this year - too much rain and too little sunshine, but one pod formed and plant is looking better again, so there's still hope...:fireball: Very nice collection there, Michael!

I have also noticed flowers with different numbers of petals on varieties that should be and seem stable... Well, due to your flower description we can now exclude the baccatum varieties as they have yellow/green spots on the inside of the petals.:cool: Yes, nodes are where the plants branches...

I fully understand your excitement, I would hope for Serranos or Jalapeño M's...;)

Hmmm, sounds great, Chilehunter... Does the plant still produce flowers and how many pods per node, I can't tell for sure from the photo...(?) I am thinking it could be a baccatum, maybe Aji Amarillo or something a bit alike...

Judging by the growth habit and leaves of the plant, I would say definitely not Bulgarian Carrot, I think leaves on your plant look more like a chinense... Furthermore, my Bulgarian Carrot fruits that are not that deep orange, mine also seem smoother. BUT, could also just be a different...

Not my understanding, but I have been wrong before...:) But coming to think of it, I believe I once read that for F1 seed production you would need 2 stable varieties to make sure every seed turned out alike, but again, this wasn't the aim of making a cross...? - maybe a real expert could...

I grew Guajillo once and they were also growing pendant fruits that looked about the same as yours - I'd say why not give them a chance, you may have a nice strain there...:)

Pam, my Limon is also doing quite well in the greenhouse and has set several pods, the big question is whether they will mature before night frost sets in... Haven't tried this one before - could you say something about flavour, can Limón keep up with the classics like for instance Antillais and...

(UPDATE): Best varieties: Naga Morich, Antillais, White Bullet, Limon, Beni Highlands (best fruit set + best flavour I think was by Antillais, the most aromatic one...) Worst varieties: Quinstisho, NuMex Suave Orange+Red, Aji Dulce Red. OLD MESSAGE: Hoping for some northern gardeners to join...

chilehunter, sounds like we are searching for the same thing - will make new thread about chinenses for short season areas / colder climates...:lol:

:mouthonfire: Yeah, Guitar God, if you should ever move to another state or country, you'll know and wouldn't have to give up on pepper growing... Seriously, I hope that North American gardeners living in say Minnesota or even Alaska could get some useful ideas and maybe they could give me good...

This depends on what you want to create - I will not be crossing more than once - after this it will each year all be about growing a number of plants from selfpollinated seeds from the best plant(s) from previous season. If you choose to pollinate say a F2-plant with one of the initial parents...

Yeah, Mark, I know what you meant...:lol: Just spotted a chance to dust off the old violin, cause it really is sooo hard for me to grow peppers...;) Even though you don't speak Danish, I think you got the point - your winter is almost as hot as our summer and you get a lot of sun too... And...
