I haven't started many new wilds recently, I've mainly just been maintaining my old overwinters, but I started some Tovarii and Galapagoense seeds 3 or 4 months back. We had a storm Tuesday and power was out for 48 hours leading to sub 50F / 10C household and seed temperatures. Within 24 hours of the heat coming back on, up popped this little galapagoense at day 90 after planting. Amazing how these guys can take so long sometimes and still be viable. Now I'm hoping to see a Tovarii sprout after 120 days!

Just realised I never came back on this. It never set any pods at all - guess I need to grow some new seed out and get it a dance partner for next year.

Nice! It's surprising how well some of the wild varieties do with late season production. Lanceolatum stand out as one that will produce very late in the season and even sometimes in the cold of my garage while overwintering. I have a Chilpaya Tuxtlas in my garage right now that is covered in little red pods that set late in the season.
