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):

The snow is awesome, although I barely made it home on these slippery roads.

Thanks, yeah, it'll melt before you know it anyway...
 
millworkman said:
Have you smelt the Galaps yet?
Click to expand...

Indeed I have! I kept brushing up against the large one there to get a shot of another plant and it smelled like paint... in a good way :drunk:

I find my chacoense crosses have a very distinctive odor, especially noticeable when I water them after they get dry...
 
I have at least 3 of these, maybe 5 laying around the house, they all don't look identical so I really don't know what's going on. Some look like a regular chacoense, others definitely a cross... all grown from seed from the same pod. The first one which ripened off that plant, and I believe I pollinated it with a bhut, but not 100% sure...
 
Oh man, this is gonna be such an awesome glog to follow, Charles! :cool: Nice list and super keen to see how some of those crosses are gonna turn out! Are some of them the ones you were keeping a secret?

I have actually been trying to cross CAP 501 with Bhut myself... so far though, still no luck (although I did manage to get a special Annuum x Chaco to take though and *possibly* a second :D). Seeing as I can see the results from yours though, I might have to start trying to cross it with another Chinense now. You can see the Chinense in there, can't you?

So inspired right now I might just have to start one or two of my new crosses now instead of waiting for next season....... ;)

Can't believe how furry those things are.

I know, they're really great. C. praetermissum, cumari pollux at least, is also very furry and a robust grower, easier to take care of than galapas for sure.

Thanks Jonny, I really was not expecting that cross to happen, but it did, definitely with a chinense. I overwintered the parent CAP 501 and it looks like it'll survive, so I'll make some more controlled crosses now that I know it is capable. If they're flowering, may as well right? I can send you some seed of whatever I manage to keep alive too later on down the road.

I wasn't planning on planting any of my Galapa seeds but you inspired me to throw a couple in the trays. Dang it. . . . .I think I may have a problem. :banghead:

If I can just get these to flower, fruit and ripen before the season is over I'll be happy. The year I get a healthy mature galapagoense and a solid harvest I'll be a happy man...
