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!

True, more common cause of death here is drowning
followed by a chill21 days before the first of these Flexosum hooked.. Looks like there might be another up tomorrow. The seeds from Chris Fowler have done a lot better this year, using methods I know work.
Subliminally thought you'd developed a chlorophyll rich starfish cultivar when I first saw this picture, think that means I think about crossing projects too much :-)
A couple of last years C.rhomboideum plants that just want to get on with it
Very soon.
It's not just the usual suspects. One could argue we give them some slack for living in abject poverty in the third world. When you see some of the pepper darlings,status seekers,etc.,playing into it,selling their souls or deep friendships over it,it's kind of sickening. These people need their feet held to the fire for it,and many have blocked me or gone radio silent when confronted with the truth. Tip of the cap to @Pepper-Guru,he has kept it real and put forth an effort to protect the community.
Nice trunk sir
Did you have it bagged or otherwise protected from the elements? Three of them have shown up for me now, and if they all live I'm considering keeping one out in the greenhouse this next winter.. Sans heater.
Bagging will not help in 5a. They certainly can handle freezing temperatures but having their roots frozen for prolonged periods of time will kill them. A day or two is probably fine but 7 or 10 days of frozen roots and it's certain death. I did have a few different species that had their rootballs freeze for around 24 hours and they lived and are growing back now.
I have flexuosum outside currently and have for a couple weeks now. If we are seeing 50sn for highs and upper 20s for lows where the soil will tighten up a bit that is fine,but low 30s for highs and upper teens to low 20s for lows and they are toast. This is for container gardening. In the ground you are might see more resilience but we're talking about plants from the neotropics.
Nice fasciated look
All three of my Cappies are growing steadily. Not the fastest of the bunch (not the slowest either I think) but an interesting first venture into wilds. Learning as I'm going.
C.tovarii wants to get on with it even if I’ve not refreshed its pot since last year

Transplanted a backup C.Lanceolatum from last year. My main one didn’t make it through the winter. This one has been crammed into the corner of a tent on minimal rations, should shape up OK outside.
I honestly did not understand anything of what you wrote, or I understood very little, in my opinion you have many fantasies, live calm and serene, have some sex and you will see that you will live more serene
Feels like we need a nice wild picture to get us on track. How about some nice branching? One of my F1 tovarii hybrids going well

Seems like you've been doing the heavy lifting lately, CC.
Things haven't been so wild around here recently. I moved my OW wilds from the garage to the deck only about a week ago and many are at the initial stages of regrowth for the season. Others not so much. In particular, things aren't looking good for my 3 OW tovarii, but it's still early and I'm hoping they come through.
Here's my only two indoor wilds right now. @HeatMiser's Texas Tepin (left) and @CraftyFox's Uvalde Pequin (right), in 1g containers.

They are looking good CD! Those tepins really like growing all scraggly. The last time I grew them I managed to trim them into a neat bush - and all I got was 1 pod for all that trouble!Seems like you've been doing the heavy lifting lately, CC.
