Here's a little background on a few of the varieties:
San Pedro Orange. This is really cool orange rocoto I just received. I had only a few seeds which I split among you, me, and Big Cedar. It's supposed to be a very good variety and I'm looking forward to growing it.
7 Pot Changuanas. This is an old strain from the same time when I was growing my 7 Pot Burgundy (thanks again for hooking me up with your Burgundy). I stopped growing them in 2013, but still had a pack of seeds. The seeds were still viable last year as I grew one plant, but I got the seeds mixed up with the OG Brain Strain, so I'll be growing again from the original 2013 seeds.
Brain Strain OG. I got the original seeds from Chris Phillips last year. It's his preserved strain of the original Cappy Red Brain Strain. I gave Big Cedar the last few ISO seeds I got from Chris, since he was specifically looking for those, so all I have left is the OP seeds from this last season. That and the two sprouts from the ISO seed I have growing now.
Wiri Wiri. Wiri Wiri sent me a bunch of wiri wiri pods just last month and these seeds are from them. I thought the taste was surprisingly good, with a hint of black pepper in the flavor - maybe, anyway, I'm not great at describing tastes. She said they're are a lot of "not" wiri wiri circulating as wiri wiri, but these are the real deal.
BOC-X. These were from WHP and supposed to be BOC. It grew as an unknown cross, which produced a longer wider pod that bleeds orange through the calyx when they're fully ripe. It's an F2, so I'm not sure what to expect, but I enjoyed this season's pods.
If you want any info on anything else just let me know.

Gotta give a big Charleston shout out to beerbreath81!!!
A couple days ago, an unexpected parcel hit my front porch. Called in the bomb squad to check it out. The detection dogs gave no indication of explosives - but did have heavy sneezing fits (consistent with capsicum inhalation) when checking the parcel. It was determined that the package was safe to open. Oh man!
Well the box contained some great stuff!. Early Christmas for this dude.
A pic showing some of the stuff but not all*** I forgot to display a nice bag of dried yellow Ghost peppers. Two other bottles I took to work to share (one of pickled Wenks peppers and some pickles.) Sorry, so excited to share, totally forgot about the photo op..
I dug into his jar of home made pickles straight away.. look at that visual!
The lid had a packing date written on top and initials "GP." The first pickle I tried was awesome, but damn - so hot it hurt my feelings for a good 20 minutes or so. beerbreath81 revealed in PM that the "GP" was for...(my dumbass didn't catch it..) Ghost Pepper.... Another jar has "CR" written on it. I'm just gonna look at that one for a while....
He also included some seafood boil and a couple bottles of hot sauce. I tried one right off the bat - this Bajan sauce from Barbados
Holy moly, it was great! Salty sour tang with great finishing heat, about at the top of my comfort zone there, but flavor so "on point." I had never tried this style of sauce before landing on this website and this thread in particular, where MikeUSMC and Crsipee-FL each sent me bottles of their take on "Bajan." Unless my memory fails me, Mike's was some kinda hot, and Crispee's had a Mango slant. Both were great, and now having the genuine article for benchmark, I see where they were both going. Two angles to the same point.
Thanks again. My words cannot give adequate example for my appreciation. PPATB !!!!!!

PPATB.....I got an envelope in the mail yesterday from PtMD989 with two new(to me) tomato seed varieties. The second bonus was that it arrived on my birthday. Thanks Bryan. Note: they will be in the dirt by the weekend.

Was expecting just a handful of seed varieties from catchthebear, but varieties I was really psyched about. Was totally surprised at the stuffed mailer that showed up with lots of goodies and at least double the varieties of seeds I was expecting.
The extra "goodies" included his:
Kitchen Sink BBQ - http://thehotpepper.com/topic/71476-catchthebear-2019/page-8#entry1658438
Galapagos Island Habanero Sea Salt - http://thehotpepper.com/topic/71476-catchthebear-2019/page-7#entry1657799
Best of all Tastes hot sauce - http://thehotpepper.com/topic/71476-catchthebear-2019/page-7#entry1657590
and a Habanero Honey, among other cool things. Even a couple guitar picks, of which you can never have too many.
Can't thank you enough CTB. You made my day brighter and this morning's breakfast spicier!
Much appreciated!

Wow what a package
I have this uncle...
Thanks Unc! We WILL see if a fancy cross come of these.
And to Chris Joyner, you are my favorite kind of businessman, but like Reggie, you're way too generous to ever reach that first $billion$!
Like I said, love your Thais! And that Mystery Wine has intrigued me since seeing Nigel's review!
Thanks guys, and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
