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):

Astounding beauty and craftmanship Charles! My Native seed order arrived yesterday. I started a dozen of the Amarillo.

Great job!

That's so funny, mine arrived at the same time... they're already in the starting mix. You know, someone else sent me some Chiltepin Amarillo seed from pods that looked really different... I hope they all grow so I can compare...
 
I can't see any difference between the yellow Bhut type 1 and 2. Maybe type 1's are a little larger??? What differences do you see? Beautiful grow. The crosses are doing perfectly on my end. Thanks god.

The plants look very similar at this point, but they are from distinctly different yellow bhut variants. The fruits should make the differences clear...
 
Lota Bih, supposed to be C. frutescens:

Tabasco, definitely C. frutescens:

Cumari do Para, very distinctive morphology, easy to distinguish from other C. chinense:

This is my first year growing Pequins, here is the Duke Pequin next to the Indiana Pequin, practically identical:

Wow man, that tepin is looking hawt. I'm really looking forward to this one. I would want to know about the taste and all. I'm a big fan of the tepin.

I have 7 pot white and I have choco hab too, so I'm gona attempt to cross with one of each.

Choco hab for the smoky flavor and 7 white for it's size. We'll see what happens :D.

Sounds promising... it's been fun watching my crosses grow. I'm also very curious to find out how they'll turn out flavor- and heat-wise.
 
I see your cross is taking on more of the 7 look... This is only f1 so hopefully we can see a change in f2 and on.... Over all Charles your plants are looking awesome...
