Hi Guys, Im almost certain from other pictures I have see that Reimers Brazilian Pumpkin Pepper is the same as Aji Brazilian Starfish, pictures of which I posted on this thread: http://www.thehotpepper.com/showthread.php?t=756&highlight=brazilian+starfish Another example of the crazy world of...

Hi Carl, A very warm welcome from 'over the pond' here in the UK. I hope the weather over there is better than here in the UK. Its frezzing and its supposed to be the summer!! Mark

Hi Chango, The correct spelling is Rocotillo and it exists in both the Chinense and Baccatum form. Yours is the baccatum identified by the white flowers with tan spots around the corolla (the flower characterstics of varieties of the baccatum species). You can find a little more info in the...

Its not one of my plants, but I dont believe its ben digitally altered. Ive asked to the grower to keep us informed. It will be interesting to see how long it lives for. Mark

Hi Guys, Have any of you ever come across a seedling like this? Is seems to defy the laws of photosynthesis Believe it or not, this is Naga Morich seedling grown by someone I sent some seed to. Ive never ever heard of an Albino plant. It will be very interesting to see how this one turns...

Ive got 13 varieties of mint growing in my garden as well as other herbs (very sad I know) and its bnever stopped these little sods infesting my chile plants. Mark

Hi Guys, I don't know about you, but I always think its nice to put faces to names so here goes: My fiance Nic & I (Im obviously the shifty looking one on the right) and a more recent one in Egypt witha bottle of the local brew...

Hi Guys Have you ever seen anything like these. More worryingly, my fiance was shopping in town recently and said she saw theses and thought of me!!! They are about 12 inches high & cost £2 ($4) each!! I lay down a challenge to you all - can anyone else provide photograpic evidence of...

Hi Tina, Here are a few more photos of Naga morich (the orange ones) so you know what those seeds will turn into wink: ) You can almost feel the capasacin! Mark

Ive a managed to 'limit myself to 60 odd varieties. I could even decide on one theme so I decided to go with these three: 1. Wild species - unlike the common varieties which are fairly easy to grow, many of the rare wild species are supposed to be hard to germinate. I like a...

I agree, you could eat them I supose if you wanted too but it would be like eatuing paper. I guess they would make a nice garnish I suppose. It would certainly beat a bit of floppy parsley. MArk

Hi imaguitargod, if you think the Brazilain Starfish flower is nice (you can certainlty tell its a Baccatum), you should see the wierd pods. The plants also grow huge (its the one at the back): Mark

Hi ChefEx They look particluarly nice on the red background 😉 By the way, ChefEx (pr should I say Chef Gordon) I loved your Interview on the hot sauce blog, particularly the word association section: 'Ring of Fire - gonna burn twice' - HA HA HA HA ...

Hi Guys, As well as growing chiles for the pods, Im also growing many varieties just for the flowers. Some varieties are absolutely stunning. Here are a few of my favorites: Explosive Ember Manzano Royal Black Capsicum Praetermissum Purple Tiger Brazilian Starfish Black Cuban...

I agree with Willard, I have found Boilvian Rainbow very easy to germinate and a rapid grower. 2 to 3ft is in optimum growing conditions although I have found 18 to 24 in to be more of the norm particular here in the UK (we don't enjoy the nice weather many of you guys do inthe states) Willard...

Hi Tina, Ive just read back my email and I agree with you that I come very badly. I certainitly didnt mean to. I must apologise particularly for been so sceptical of the good work done by Michael & Joy. I totally miss understood the PVP thing ( I thought they were deliberately trying to...

Hi Tina, Wow what a great response!! Thank you for that - I understand a lot more about PVP now and trademarking. To be honest I am an amatuer grower and am not that bothered about seeking PVP or the fame attached to it. What annoyed me originally was the thought that Micheal & Joy (who I have...
