What is the "Hot" Pepper to be Growing in 2009...

whocares · Apr 17, 2009

Well, I'm growing all the new superhots, as a novelty: all the new colors 7 Pods (yellow - this one is already giving me mature pods now, because I started it last Autumn, as I did the T. Douglah who has just the one pod, and still green ), Brown 7 Pod (I think it's the T. Douglah, but Trini gave it to me with this name this year), Orange 7 Pod, Trinidad Scorpion yellow, Mourouga red and yellow, Bhi orange, Chocolate Scorpion, Chocolate Bhut, etc., but just for fun...

Out of interest, I'm growing all the crosses that I could get from friends, and I'd like to stress my thanks to J.F., SBS and Luigi... I'm very curious to see what comes from them

And don't laugh, but my most cherished collection of this year are my Jalapeños ! :lol:

I manage to gather 33 different varieties of Jalapeños! They all sprouted by now except the Hercules, Guachinango, Cuaresmeño and Texas Roadhouse

... I'm going to try to germinate them again... let's see...

I'm also growing a lot of others, including my beloved Fatalii (red, yellow and chocolate) and Lemon Drop. And all my Habaneros (they are at the moment something like 40-50 different varieties) ... Those are always on my growing list...

All the wilds, of course...

And that's it...

Ah, about the ornamentals... I'm very eager to see what comes from the new 3 varieties that were so hard for me to find... Purple Flash, Calico and Sangria (ty Vladan)! In time I'll show the photos, of course...

Hi skealo, not yet!

This is the first trial year... Last year I've grown just one with no nomination, and the Jumbo. Loved both

33 varieties of jalapenos Margarida? WOW. You've hit the record. I wish I could stop by your balcony come harvest time. I love jalapenos and would do some taste tests with you.

Man, 33 Jalapenos is incredible! Would you mind posting that list? I need to copy and paste. That could keep me busy for the next 10 years. I love Jalapenos too!

Here are some pics of my Sangria and Purple Flash plants. The photo doesn't show the colour as well as in real life.
The Sangria has purple streaks through the stems and the Purple Flash has lots of different colours through the foilage. These will look stunning once fruiting!

The two on the left are Sangria one on right is Purple Flash

This is the Purple Flash

These are Sangria

Thank you for the Sangria and Purple Flash pictures :clap:

Your welcome. Mine are still small but you can get a little bit of an idea from the Purple Flash. Will try and remember to post again when they are fruiting...can't wait!

Are you growing any other ornamentals or have you in the past?

talas · Apr 18, 2009

Margarida Sweetie your missing one Jalapeno Red Dragon f3 with 3 Strains at the moment,Purple flash seem to have seen that under a differnt name lol all these subtle name changes can be a pain to a chili collector..You got me counting my Jalapeno variety's now lol
Hope your feeling better Margarida

Omri · Apr 18, 2009

I have Giganta, Gigantia, Gigantica from different sources... lol.

talas · Apr 18, 2009

Lol you make a Gigantic...a tta arna o good point there Omri my friend :lol:

whocares · Apr 18, 2009

Well, Omri and Talas, my dear friends, instead of so much talking, why not send me all your different named Jalapeño seeds? I'm willing to try them all... Then I promise I'll tell you the differences, if any!

And Dave, the Purple Flash and Calico are really new... as you know, I've grown a lot of different ornamentals... I love them, and the one who is most similar with the Calico is the Rain Forest tricolor (sent by you, as I recall... thank you) and perhaps the Trifetti Tri-color Variegata... even so, the pods and overall plant is different, and the Purple Flash I can compare with the Fluorescent Purple or Purple Glow in the Dark, but they're not the same, and I think this Purple Flash will be stunning! ...and I'm eager to see those in flesh, so, thank you WCA for showing me yours, and I'll remind you of the updates!

I'm afraid I still lump a little bit, Dave, but at least the pain is bearable now, thanks! :cool:

And Dave, don't count your Jalapeños, just send me all! Lol

Omri · Apr 18, 2009

First harvest I get, I'll send ya some. I so wanna try my Jalapeños already.
