Wild, Indeed, Community Thread

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!

Should have my first C.lanceolatum flower this week

Opening time

Looking good, eximium x cardenasii hybrid

More sunshine, more flowers.

Nah, keep 'em coming. I have very little
happening in my own grow at the moment,
so seeing what I can look forward to is good.

+1. photo-bomb away, Mr. CC. It's great to see what's happening with your grow.

My purple corolla clades are only now starting to bud and flower. Eximium 19198 is leading the charge. Hopefully others will follow quickly.

Eximium 19198

Looking promising for good pollination.

Sweet, CD!

C.rhomboideum now open for business

CAP 500 (C.eximium) now getting a few ripe pods. Flower picture from June'22 for reference.

One of the small backup C.lanceolatum that I have put into slow(er) mode indoors with limited feed and light has decided to flower anyway. Very small flower and no purpling because of the environment.

Wild production activity has been on the rise, recently. Hopefully the mid 90F's we're experiencing after so much cooler weather won't upset their rhythm. I have many of these guys positioned for morning sun and afternoon shade and a couple spoiled ones are even getting chauffeured to the cooler inside temperatures around noon each day.

Baccatum Fragilis showing decent pollen production - and getting spoiled.

Eximium CAP 1491

USDA Cardenasii

The outdoor OW Lanceolatum has been a conveyor belt of pod production; not a bunch at a time, but consistently a handful at each of the various stages of production.

Chacoense CAP 212 is starting on an outdoor round after an isolated first round ripened indoors.

And the Eximium CGN 19198 seems to be getting down to business

Cheers!

I would describe Bird’s Eye Baby as a heavily branched, dwarf C. annuum var. glabriusculum with unusually small leaves and pequin shaped fruit. I suspect the heavy branching and tiny leaves have been selected from a wild glabriusculum starting point.

I wanted to post a correction to this, to avoid spreading misinformation. The ripe fruit are decidedly not deciduous, which is not allowed for in the glabriusculum type description. The lanceolate leaves are also out of type.

It’s a rather gorgeous dwarf pequin, albeit C. annuum var. annuum.

Chiltepin PaulG, very early for a tepin

Yellow Fire (c. chinense)

Congrats everyone, the quality in this thread is just stunning

Couldn’t agree more, Fabrizio! Thanks for chiming in!

 

[ChilliCrosser]

Just realised I should have probably posted this in here rather than just my glog as the majority of flowers in it are wilds.

 

[ChilliCrosser]

A couple of C.rhomboideum. One growing outdoors has forked and is flowering and is in the bigger pot, the other was a backup in a 1L pot that's in a sunny porch.

 

[ChilliCrosser]

Flowers on many plants now showing up in greater numbers.

C.rhomboideum

C.tovarii

C.flexuosum

 

[CaneDog]

The foliage on your Tovarii looks super healthy - not to slight the others How tall is that guy getting?

 

[PaulG]

The c. tovari's are climbers, alright. Will post
pics in a couple of days when it's not too hot
to take pix outside

Thanks, I hide all the bad plants just left of frame every time

It's not that tall, under 3ft at a guess. IIRC it's in a 5L pot. It has a very bent stem up top as another non-pepper plant had fallen into it at some point and before I noticed it'd diverted itself horizontally before growing upwards again. Who needs bonchi wire.
