Very nice, John. Those are some very nice plants.
That c. praetermissum flower is a real beauty.
Looks like a Cumari Flibu. How big are your
grow bags?

The flex is in a 15 and the praetermissum was transplanted into 7 gallons right before that photo. I'll get some new shots in a couple weeks when it settles in. The flowers have the standard look like Flibu but this seems like it will be a large bush. Flibu has always been like a sappling for me.
 
My chiltepin had become an unwieldy bush during my two-week absence. It branched very early during its growth and the lower branches were quite big. Since the lower branches impeded my movement and access to neighbouring plants, I decided to cut them back. The leaves of the lower branches were also a shelter for a considerable number of mealybugs.

Even after cutting back, it still is a formidable plant. I provided the plant with a growth support. I spotted some flowers on the lower branches....  :confused:

That’s a nice healthy bush, D! I bet it will
be covered in berries soon!
 
BTW received your package yesterday!
Thanks a million Dieter, I’m looking forward
to trying them out next season!

Glad it arrived! After having become accustomed to the MX postal service, it is strange to see it can go swift...
The same was sent to 3 THPers and the Merle family. Anxious to see how they will like Oregon :D

I am sure the seeds will adapt to our PNW climate
with no problem!
 
Caught a pair of Cumari Pollux and the Chili Pequin Chihuahua 
basking in the morning sun. The Cumaris are in #2 pots, and the
Pequin in a 3-gallon pot:

Leo72’s brown seed wild Cumari has a lot in common with the
Cumari Pollux. Same growth habit, multiple upright pods per
node, and purple flowers. Here are some of the nodes on the
brown seed Cumari:

A look at the flower:

The white seed wild Cumari doesn’t look anything like the Pollux variety.
Single upright pod at each node and white flowers. Reminds me of a
Goat’s Weed. Same fuzzy, silvery look and growth habit.

Great looking plants Mr. G and especially to see how well you've done with the dark seed cumari.  What a cool looking flower.
 
Are you and the peppers ready for the heat coming this weekend?  We're supposed to max out at 102F this weekend, but I saw as high as 113F on the forecast around your neck of the woods.  Hope you have some cold beers in the fridge!

Thanks, friend. leo72 was very generous to share the seeds!
 
As for the heat… have put up some strategic shade cloth.
Fortunately, they have done okay in the high temps we have
already had, but this weekend will be a definite test. Just
need to keep everything hydrated. There will be lots of flower
drop! Good luck with your own plants this weekend, CD.

hello Paul, the cumari is a c.annum var.glabriusculum, the pubescent plant looks like other glabriisculum like amashito wild or even house plant like goats, this glabriusculum comes from the coffee plantations of Brazil, the plant was found there, Probably birds brought seeds, this uncommon plant in Brazil appears to come from the region of Bolivia

Hey Leo, are  you talking about the brown seed plant or
the white seed plant? Both are fuzzy, but the brown seed
plant has large leaves. The other looks like some of the
annum v Glabriusculum I have grown, except for the fuzz.  
 
Interesting backstory, at any rate!

The wilds bed is turning into a jungle. Well wild-ish since there are a couple of Biquinhos in there.
I can see that I will need some assistance come harvest time...

Looks like the Tejas sun is blessing those wild plants, Siv!
 
Have fun harvesting!

I was talking about the cumari in the photo, the one with the white flower

OKay, then, I am assuming the big leaved variety with
the purple flower is a c. praetermissum?
 
leo72 said:
yes friend, it's a praetermissum

Okay, thanaks for the clarification.
 
I may be slow, but I'm not fast!
