Guru's Garden - Traveling the World in Search of Peppers

Just starting this glog now so it's one less thing to do in a few months when I'm knee deep in compost and getting things in the ground.
 
Not much to report at the moment. Strains yet to be determined, but I'll probably end up growing too many like always...lol
 
 
Only thing that's going on right now is a clean back patio and the chickens doing their part turning over my compost pile on the daily. Intersted in seeing how the soil microbes appreciate the added chicken poop!
 

 

 
Hope everyone has had a decent winter so far and here's to happy germination!
 

 
 
 
EDIT UPDATE: This glog has turned into an ongoing overwintering, greenhouse and soil building how-to!

Some of my recent observations while in Colombia:

 

[talas]

A real beauty, it's flowers and leaf structure is gorgeous a great find Rich.

 

[ahayastani]

A beauty. If not edible or palatable, it certainly would be a nice ornamental. Dimorphum? At which altitude did you find it? iNaturalist only has observations from the mountains .

 

[Pepper-Guru]

Yes. Capsicum dimorphum All species in the genus are edible. Going to upload to inat soon! All in the mountains and pine thickets.

Wow! I'm trying to wrap my head around the leaf pattern-bipinnate alternate?

 

[Pepper-Guru]

Wow! I'm trying to wrap my head around the leaf pattern-bipinnate alternate?

The monograph describes them as "branches dichotomously spreading in a typical “zig-zag” appearance" with "Sympodial units difoliate, the leaves geminate; leaf pair markedly unequal in size and shape."
