Just getting this started so I can get a url.
I will post more about this in a couple of days.
Happy New Year, 2021!

A few tiddlers from the crowd
CGN 20497 (C.Cardenasii)
Second of the C.Eximium x C.Cardenasii plants
C.Tovarii seems to have settled in OK a few days after transplanting from vermiculite
A selection of the smaller C.Rhomboideum seedlings, ended up with 5 in total. One plant is much bigger, not shown.

A majority of my Chiltepin Hermosillo Dwarf are showing anthocyanin in their cotyledons, like the one below. (I have two containers of this; in the other, every seedling shows anthocyanin.)
A brief search found this post, showing no anthocyanin in @CaneDog’s grow. What about your lot, @PaulG? I imagine he was also using SLP seeds, but I know we both are…

C. Eximium coming back to life
1 of 2 C. Rhomboideum I have growing, this one I grew extensively in a solo cup for the first year. Just got some fresh soil on her roots.
C. Tovarii
CGN 20497 C. Cardenasii
C. Rhomboideum #2
For the most part in starting out with growing any type of Wilds is Patience and I mean you have to have alot of it.

Wilds are looking good, my friend!
I have not seen the anthocyanin response
in either of the the Dwarf Chiltepin as of yet.
Those darn Pimenta de Neyde purple genes
seem to show up everywhere in my grow
.

My little contribution.
Amashito Wild
(Capsicum annuum var. glabriusculum)
From Fatalii.net: "This tough, rare wild chili pepper is very easy to grow. It gives great yields of small pods which have very Tepin-like heat and unique aroma. Actually works quite nicely as a dried powder. The plant is very tolerable against both heat and cold. It does not tolerate against frost though. If you are looking for a all around, easy-to-grow tough chili plant and are little bit interested in wild chilis, this one is surely for you!"
Very cool to see a new wild variety in these pages,
@Anders. Very nice looking plant. Was there any
mention of It’s source location? SW USA or Mexico?
I will be looking forward to seeing more about this one!
edit: Did a little more digging and found this. Maybe
@ahayastani is familiar with this one since it is endemic
in Chiapas.

Amashito is not grown where I live. Most Mexicans associate amashito with the state of Tabasco. The Chiapas area referred to in that publication is the border zone (North Chiapas) with Tabasco. I'm near the coast in the south.
I know very little about it. But I have always seen that my annuums do a lot better in the cold Norwegian summer with very cold nights. So my idea was to cross it with my best-tasting chinense and see what comes out
I have a lot of space to grow outside here in Norway, but greenhouses are really expensive, so I would love to have some good varieties to grow outside of a greenhouse. And I just love experimenting, learning, and seeing what mother nature gives.
The article I linked in post #628 states a concern that germ
plasm from some of the morphological types are becoming
scarce due to pressures on the environment. For me, the
attraction to growing wild varieties is the opportunity to con-
serve some of the wild varieties. The annuum v Glabriusculum
is a fascinating branch of the chili family tree to me, I guess
since they are the grandaddy of all the other chili types. Per-
haps it merits a grow log thread of it's own, there are so many
varieties. That research I linked to is really an interesting read,
highly recommend it..

Thanks for the link! Really interesting. I would be happy to share some seeds after the season if anyone else wants to grow this one next season to preserve the genetics. (not my stupid cross, but the actual Amashito)
Here is the picture on fatalii website. I'm not sure which of the cultivars listed in the report this one is closest to? Elonged and red. could be nr5 "Amashito grande"?
Here is some pictures from someone else who has grown them:
Amashito Wild
Known also as Mashito and Amash, Amashito Wild is a variety from Mexico which produces Pequin-like chillies and is great for spicing up Mexican foods.
Amashito. The image links to the vendor's website.
@Sulsa - Both the overwinters in the 3-gallon containers,
and the 2021 volunteers in the #2NCs have exceeded my
expectations so far. An amazing amount of growth for both
sets of plants.
Transplanted one of @Pr0digal_son's Red Tepins.
This plant was topped once.

Also been looking to find some on my C.Galapagoense, no signs of pods yet
A couple of extra C.Tovarii also in play now
And the older of my C.Tovarii seedlings now getting the first true leaves
