mrgg*s PURPLE playground

Starting a purple thread. While there will be pictures of normal green plants, the main focus will be the color PURPLE  :eek:
 
Got a few varieties of things that came in, but only germinating a few for fun since it's so late into the season already. If anything, my plan is to toss a few pics up here and there at my leisure. 
 
Enjoy!
 
 
Here are most of the things I started. This is mostly just a preview for next year when I run more seed to select through. I know not all of these are purple varieties; a few I just wanted to try sooner than later like the Brazilian Starfish and the Fish Pepper.

Some of the first purple to show...

And some Fooled You Jalapenos. They have zero heat, but should be full flavor. I wanted one or two plants so I could just slice in half, hit with oil, salt, and garlic, and grill. And this way I can literally eat pounds of it should I have the desire (and means) to do so.
 
I plan to give a bunch of plants away to coworkers. I usually germinate many more than I need to make sure I get what I need, pick the best and then give the rest... away.

Here is a list of seeds I already have, which are some sort of purple or blackish varieties. Not all plants are all purple but purple phenos can be found. I am considering anything with purple in the leaves, stems, or pods (again, only a few of them are being germinated this season):
 
Yaki Brown
Purple Flash
Black Pearl
Purple Jalapeno
Pink Tiger
Purple Tiger
THSC Black Scorpion Tongue
Royal Black
Pimenta Elisir x Neyde
Redgum TigerMAMP
Peachgum TigerMAMP

The rock was just to help block the wind yesterday.  The THSC BST was having a hard time coping.
 
In the morning, they all get full sun and then it tapers off to the concrete divider at around 6pm (this time of year)

Purple flash looking flashy! Those flowers are looking pretty sweet. All look great. Nice pods on the cobra too. Going to be some lovely looking plants in a couple of months, not that they are not already. Will be interesting to see the colours when they are big.
 
I'm really liking these Purple Flashes. With the one bonsai'ing at work and the one at home (chose the two darkest cotyl seedlings), they are becoming very favored in my eyes. I'm tempted to cross the sh*t outta it, lol. Whatdya think about a Purple Flash x Pink Tiger cross? Call it the Flashing Tiger!!
 
edit: if I cared to do it...   (Thai dragon x purple flash) x pink tiger =  Flashing Tiger Hidden Dragon Pepper!
 
 
PS: I tagged @tomatogrowers on instagram already, they are where I bought these seeds from
