Thanks Paul ...will of course give a shout out once any action.
CD...always with such impressive starts...the TOV is a rather healthy looking youngster...con't success.Good luck with the tough ones, Wiri! I have my new Tovarii sprout, but nary a peep from the Lanceolatum and it's been some time. Fortunately, my 3yo Lanceolatum is growing back well after a savage late-season rabbit attack left it just a bundle of stubs. I'm happy not to be 100% dependent on the Lance seeds given how uncooperative as they've been so far. I still figure they'll come around eventually, though.
A few pic's
A Wild Baccatum that just popped. This one took a good while; I'd expected it to be quicker. Happy to see the cotyledon split as I've had a few helmet heads over last month or two.
At the other end of the spectrum, ripe Flexuosum berries from the OW crew.
One Texas Rice is showing some anthocyanin - perhaps it's a brown rice?
The other Rice's are much more green, like this one
A couple more of the Uvalde Pequin sprouted - always good to have back-up
And the new Tovarii seems to be chugging along fine
...I wander into the Scotch Bo
territory...considering I have some Scottish blood ...just a tiny...but enough to make it a fun time this Summer.
Not ready to GLOG IN '22 yet.
WISH me luck...I need it with these "playing hard to germinate seeds.

It is an annuum v Glabriusculum Tepin/Pequin variety thatWhat exactly is uvalde wild? I googled it but all I seem to get is a location in Texas...
Im with you on this brother, it seems a lot of our varieties are crossed and people seem to want it that way to a certain extent as well. Wild peppers really interest me, I havent grown any yet, but some day soon Im gonna try me some.I have been tossing around the idea of a community thread
devoted to wild pepper varieties. I know there have been
various wild pepper grow logs, but I am looking for a place
in which anyone who is interested or is growing wild peppers
as part of their grow can post. Hopefully it will become a place
where some good information about growing wild peppers can
be found. Similar in scope to the more focused Purple Thunder
and Trippaul Threat community grows, but more general.
With all the crossing going on in the chili pepper world, both
intentional and accidental, it is sometimes hard to find some
of the good old varieties in their original form. Yellow 7 comes
to mind. In that light, I think it is important to preserve the wild
pepper lineages. I am interested in isolating and producing true
to variety stock. I already know some of the 'wilds' I grew in
2020 were crosses.
I hope anyone who is interested this topic will chime in.

Well said Paul...there is a lot of info., here & if I can offer any advise WITHOUT being asked ...many Wilds take
with glee.
pix above...if one has ripe peppers like those above...the dark/blackish seeds are visible..
