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):

Charles, how was the growth on your galapas? Did it grow tall and bushy or short and bushy, just curious to how the ones i have will turn out...

 
 
Here's what it looks like today:

Nice, It looks good in a pot... Wonder how it will turn out if grown inground... Will have to wait and see

Donne Sali:

 
On the same plant:

 
Sun scald on a Choco Bhut x Douglah pod:

 
Piri Piri:

 
The C. frutescens do not thrive in shade like C. chinense does.
 
 
Color transition on CAP 501 x Bhut (C. chacoense x C. chinense):


 
Inside of a Choco Bhut x Douglah.  It is not entirely covered with placenta like a Brain Strain or a TS Morouga, but where it is, the capsaicin oozes.  Has the bhut aroma, but more of a throat burn than I recall a choco bhut having.
 
In natural light:

 
Up close of placenta under fluorescent:

Love it.
