Wow, the season is almost gone again.. Most of my new plants are just start to take off.
The interspecific project is coming along about as well as I could hope. Aside from adding some baccatum highlights to the flowers, it seems to have retained most of the traits I favored with the parent. Hoping this will do even better than the parents, which both do fairly well indoors. Would you call that constricted?
I thought I had a better picture of the habit.. Maybe next time. The tips have a tendency to droop dramatically at times during the day, exposing the dark purple stems. Hopefully it's not pollen-sterile like the mother.
Really loving the look of these hybrid Uvalde Pequin I got from
@PaulG too! I'm really interested in how they will fare indoors this winter. These were all from the purple plant Paul grew last year, but they are quite a mix. I grew four and all sprouted, one got snatched or otherwise eradicated at the community garden plot, but the others are here.
The greener one seems to be a little more compact, but I'll probably be following the purple genetics. There are currently a few getting ripe on the fully purple, the first one getting ripe on the purple stemmed one, and none turning colors on the fully green one.. Coincidence?
There are many other peppers, maybe I'll get some more up soon. Sadly, the Mini-Olive Rocs all died.. Never seemed to take off. Ayucllo has yet to show itself. Most of the others are doing good though. Hope your projects are thriving!
