7. Naga Morich
8. Naga Suomi
9. Dorset Naga
10. Guwahati Bhut
11. Pale Bhut / Bih Jolokia
12. Jay's Peach
13. Fatalii
14. Lota Bih
15. C. galapagoense

C. galapagoense ripening:

 
 

sweet pods on that galap how they taste?

 
 
I haven't eaten this particular pod yet.. but from what I remember last year, they were quite nice.  Hot and a very distinctive flavor... difficult to characterize...

 

[Spicegeist]

C. galapagoense still ripening:

 
Hurray, this little pod is ripening yellow :

 
I'll have a lot of C. galapagoense seed to share before too long, kind of blurry, but you can still see:

Wow!! That's some view of all those galapagoense pods!

What's the secret? Lol.

I have no idea.  I think I just got lucky, it's quite a vigorous plant, the mother plant I grew last year was also very strong.

What's the flavor and heat profile on that C. gala. ?
Beautiful plant!

 

[maximumcapsicum]

Great little pods on those galapagoense!

Just amazing how well your Galapa is doing. Great job Charles

Hey Charles, snapped some pics of how things are going with your crosses...
Tepin x 7pot barrackpore

 
plant #2

 
 
 

 
Very nice, James! Your Tepin x Barrackpore are a few weeks ahead of mine, and looking real healthy….

 

[capsidadburn]

Great stuff Charles as always.  What is the yellow pod?  Chinense... It didn't look furry as the galapa.
 
Awesome Galapa fruit explosion!

 

[Devv]

Glad to see that Galapa with all that poddage!

 

[maximumcapsicum]

Mine isn't looking that different... any pods on those Barracktepins set yet? I'll snap some pictures when I am out tomorrow.

Beautiful plant!

 
I can't describe it...  it's hot, it's wild... do you ever come to Blacksburg?  I'll just give you a few when the rest start ripening...

Ah... thanks for asking... that's my secret cross, I was looking for a yellow phenotype and I got one .  They are very delicious.
 
If you want to grow any, I can send you some seed, which will be F3.

Yes, please do!
 
 
Okay, I had a good number of runt pods on my Fatalli plants, but now I have some nice and shapely pods growing:

 

 
These are going to be so good... I can't wait!

Edit. Double post

Love the yellow fatalii, prolific plant. Last season my plant just kept on pumping out pods till out of nowhere it died on me...

 

[capsidadburn]

Put me down for some of those cool yellow pod seeds later on this season Charles.  Thanks
 
Your Yellow Bhuts are probably the best plants I have going now, both in the raised bed and containers.  I am running behind due to some rough early outdoor time but all are setting fruit now.  Also the Bonda/ Y 7's are doing well I got from Gary.  The Tepin/ Barrackpores are hangin in but not doing as well as others I see on the forum.
 
Later Mike

Thanks, I will be traveling up 81 once or twice a month later in the summer. We could do a pepper swap. I'd love to see your plants.

 

[chile_freak]

Your mojo is working well brother!

 

[Devv]

Nice pod shot there Charles.
 
I picked my first Yellow Fatalii this afternoon, going with me to work for a test drive

The yellow bhut is my most vigorous chinense for sure. Looks like it's just going to pour pods by the end of the month.

Forgot to get a snap of those pods today Charles... Will do so tomorrow when I check for weeds.

That's great.  Mine is very healthy right now too...
