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

Some special crosses I made in 2011:

Thanks.  This is my first year growing in such shady conditions, the chinense really do just fine, but the frutescens are languishing.

 

[Devv]

Very nice!

Great pics! I really like the looks of that Bhut X Maybe Yellow 7. Big beefy pods! The double pod is really cool too. Heck...everything here is really cool!

That particular cross is putting out huge pods, the largest chinense I'm growing this year.  I will grow it out in 2014 too...

 

[Pepper-Guru]

I'd also like to give some background details on the Brain Strain I'm growing.  The seed my plant is grown from is from a plant that was grown from seed originally shared by Cappy off of the "mother" Brain Strain plant in 2008.
 
This is the thread where he shared the seeds:

Yep. I got some seed off that mother as well! Keeper for sure
Still got a bit of original seed left! 
 

BTW I updated my grow list. Let me know If I left anything out that you sent Great grow dude! You're going crazy with these crosses! Hell yes

 

[Spicegeist]

Ha, thanks.  I think next year my focus will by on Bhut and Naga types.  I'll have to find someone who wants to grow some of these crazy crosses (not to mention what I have from this season, which I haven't posted yet)...

[JoynersHotPeppers]

What's up Charles, I forget so remind me...did I send you dried pods and you harvested the seeds? Like I said in a previous post, of course you get one of the pods that crossed!

 

[Spicegeist]

You sent me Chiltepin Amarillo pods, one grew true, the other as above.

 

[JoynersHotPeppers]

Ok perfect, I had forgotten who I sent dried pods to versus seeds.

I could send you back some of these crossed pods if you like, just let me know.

Let me know how they taste, the originals have soooo many seeds!

Beautiful crosses and stuff going on.  Love the close up pics of all that lovely oil.  And I have to say a big thank you for the bug pics not being spidey pics..

That bug hasn't been around much, but then again I haven't been looking for it.  The spiders I get around here aren't too scary anyway...
 
By the way, the Not Yellow Congo is orange now... not sure if it will ripen to red or not.  I'll take a pic tomorrow or so.

 

[Sanarda]

My Yellow Congos were right next to my bhuts which were red so the cross is Yellow Congo Trinidad X Bhut

That should be tasty... I'll let you know

Chiltepin Armac, more elongated fruit than the round pods the seeds came from:

 
Cumari Pollux (C. praetermissum):

 
7 Pot Brain Strain:

 

[Portuge]

Those chiltepin could have crossed with whatever they were grown next to... But whatever it was, still looks neat...

 

[Spicegeist]

Just received these Bhuts from Pepperlover in the mail today.  They're huge!
 

 

 
Thanks Judy!
