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!

21 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.

UK winters are piece of piss for these guys. It was very mild here but still a few times it reached -24C and they can't deal with that. I had mine outside way more than normal this winter. Crazy to see a Capsicum with leaves when it's -2C.

True, more common cause of death here is drowning followed by a chill

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

 

[Pr0digal_son]

Please do so. I haven't noticed much "damage" inflicted by the Brazilian cartel here on this forum, but FB is a very different story. A warned person counts for two, or

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.

C.flexuosum after an extremely mild winter here. I need to relocate!

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.

 

[ChilliCrosser]

C.tovarii wants to get on with it even if I’ve not refreshed its pot since last year

Geminifolium is around minute marker 30:50 or so...

 

[ChilliCrosser]

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.

Just type in english. Anybody that searches your other account here will see you understand it well...... but to address your comments.

You must be eluding to the account I created to further incriminate your Brazilian friends. The Solanum diplocomos? Remember your friend pawning them off as C.caballeroi? You guys really liked that. I would love to post receipts of yours and others deceit,lies,extortion,theft. And all the accounts you use to troll Clayton. In due time,and to whoever is interested. There is plenty--4 months of work atleast.

This is a close community that has always protected it's members from clowns. You'd be better suited hiding on other social media platforms playing games.

I'm not going to continue ruining this thread. I will start another one soon posting reciepts that deal with you,Europeans,Brazilians,etc.

Ciao

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

 

[ChilliCrosser]

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.

 

[PaulG]

A couple of wilds planted this winter.

Pequin 'Uvalde', @CraftyFox. Three plants in this
5.5 inch square pot, 2liter. Thanks, Tyler:

Wiri Wiri, yellow variant. @Wiriwiri. Thanks Sandy:

 

[PaulG]

This plant spent the winter in the greenhouse. Just
watered it once in a while. I hope this new growth
takes off.

c. flexuosum. Monteiro Lobato, Brazil.

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!
