Alright folks, the day of reckoning has come. This is a "Runt" pod ripening here. Even this "Runt" is huge, about the size of a golf ball! Most of the other pods on the plant are much larger and pointier though, more of the fatalii kinda shape, but less ruffled, pimply, and wrinkly. Anyhow, here's the first stages. Right now this pod is a kinda pumpkiney reddish orange, but I'm going to leave it over the weekend to see if it turns to red. If it stays orangish, then obviously there's some incomplete dominance in the genetics going on. Perhaps the genetics I'd read and reported in the first post of this thread aren't true? Time will tell!
First stages of ripening. At this stage, the pod was about the color of an orange Hab...
And here's where it is 2 days later...
