I haven't shown these much. They were under fluorescent
shop lights until June, and so aren't real robust, yet. They
seem to be a bit healthier looking after being outside in the
shade of the porch and experiencing a little wind.
c. galapagoense
The one on the left has a triple fork, and has been
flowering a little. They just dry up and fall off so far.
Also removed a few leaves with aphids on them.
The specimen on the right has the 'traditional fork'
growth habit. Just a couple af flowers, on that one
so far.
Both in #1 nursery pots.

I loved the smell of the C.Galapagoense when I grew them for a few seasons. Weirdly, one season every single one of my plants got an aphid visit but they avoided this plant even though it was within inches of all the other plants.

Galapagoense is covered with tiny hairs. I picked up somewhere that these deter aphids. I haven't spotted a single aphid on my plant yet.
I harvested some bell peppers to make dinner and checked my galapagoense. I sprayed with a low dose of CuSO4 last week - I hadn't done that in quite some time - and galapagoense was the only plant that reacted by dropping a substantial amount of leaves. It still isn't "bold", but I can really see through its leaf cover now. I sampled the first berries and was happily surprised by their taste. I recognized a smoky taste similar to chacoense but certainly not as strong. It also packed more heat that I suspected, but I wouldn't call them hot.
Yeah, a spicy bell pepper scent - definitely essence of pepper!ze_test said:hi
Can you describe the smell? like bell pepper? sweet like ghost pepper? like piri piri ? I'm curious
Definitely not a chinense scent, to my terrible sense of taste.
It is unique, to me. I can't think of another scent to relate it to.
The Chili Pequin Chihuahua is definitely one of
the stars of this season's grow. Tall, robust plant
full of nice, 'cardenenasii-sized' pods. First plant
to set pods, first to start ripening them:
I got these seeds from the Seed Train. There was
no source identification, so I have no idea who
put them in. If anyone knows or has an idea of
the source, I would be interested in finding out.
Pretty battered by the weather, but setting pods
in great BB Habanero (CGN 244360) style:

The c. praetermissums are growing huge this season.
They are all in #2 nursery pots (about 1.5-1.7 gallons.)
Very difficult to photograph due to size and spread,
and it has been tricky finding spots in my yard with
enough shade all day to keep them from getting too
much sun. They seem to love two things - heat and
shade!

This plant gets dappled to full shade all day:
A closer look. Seems like we might get some pods:
Canopy of one pf the Cumari Pollux plants in the
shady front yard. Gets a small amount of direct
morning and evening sun, otherwise dappled to
full shade:
Neither the Cummari Pollux or Cumari Flibu
have started setting pods, or even flowering
much, yet.
