Pimenta da Neyde x Bhut F2... I wasn't counting on purple being so dominant here, will have to pick a few from these to grow out:

Here are some of my 2013 treasures.

I was able to start four C. galapagoenses (they didn't all come up on the same date):

Loving the crosses. Can't wait to see the pimenta da neyde crosses. I just successfully got some galapagoense sprouting.  They will be an overwinter project since I'm sure I won't get pods from them this season.
 
Kingdenniz - Out of curiosity what size pots are you using? Do you plan to pot up from those?

They are 1 gal grow bags. When I get more soil they will go in 5 gal.

How many gala seedlings did you get to sprout??
 
Nice looking cross up there (the not so morouga)

:)

gotta love those nasty mutant!
hope youll keep the seeds! if not keep them for me!
i iwll grow them a second year for sure!
 
I've gotta say, I actually really dig the TS Moruga Blend cross.  Just goes to show phenotype doesn't always follow the expected genotype.  I wouldn't expect a pod from a TSMB x Douglah or TSMB x (Butch T x Douglah) to look like that.  Really, really cool Charles.  Looking forward to the ripening color and to hear about the heat level.  With those parents it should be screamin' hot! 
 
All the others look fantastic, as well.

They are starting to take off a little bit now.  Fortunately, of my crosses the only one that had trouble podding up was one of my Aji Cristal x C. praetermissum plants, the rest are podding up, including my Aji Cristal x Brainstrain!

It was probably my fault, I occasionally get idea to cross pollinate and forget :twisted:

Cool photography !
I dig the iridescent colors of the Pimenta da Neyde x Bhut...

Thanks Pic, that plant is doing very well.  The pods look like little bhuts with the chambered and spikey fruit, but they are solid dark purple just like the P d. N, perfect!

The pods on my Choco Bhut x Douglah cross are beginning to take shape:

 
Here's the pod on my TSMB cross I pollinated with Choco bhut x Douglah pollen:
