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!

Always good to see how those Tepins are doing under your watch CD! The overwintered one looks like an awesome bonchi. I'm sure it will fill up in no time. And this year's crop is looking really good too! They're really bushy already. Hopefully we'll both get them to set fruit this year.
Didn't know the Tepin Cappuccino was considered a wild, but here is a pic of mine. It popped late last year and I kept it inside all year. I wasn't paying much attention to it and it wasn't doing well until I moved it to the 1gal pot it is in now. I will probably up-pot it one more time. I am excited to get pods early from this plant.
Daily check of my galapagoense plant:
Firm bush, branched, dotted with tiny flowers. That's what I'm used to see every day, and a jingle came up
No peppers today, galapagoense goes it way,
Its flowers are for lorn, only there to adorn
and then my eyes suddenly caught it
Hope I can beat the birds....

This little pod and peduncle looks like a cobra rearing it's head!bpiela said:Didn't know the Tepin Cappuccino was considered a wild, but here is a pic of mine.

Chiltepin keeps on branching, no flowers yet.... New growth has some anthocyanin pigments in the stem. "Old growth" is already lignified. I'm reminded to my chiltepin plant by bpiela's Tepin Cappuccino because of the strong and extended lower branches.
Very robust plant, D. Watch out when that startsahayastani said:Chiltepin keeps on branching, no flowers yet.... New growth has some anthocyanin pigments in the stem.

flowering and setting pods, you will need a gallon
bucket to harvest them!
Some c. annuum v Glabriusculum plants, along
with the c. frutescens Chili Costa Rica. Going
to plant these out in the center of the back yard
where they get lots of sun.

aren't shredded. Sun is shining again
I got my PNW hailstorm last night and it absolutely shredded my Perola Laranja to where it looks like swiss cheese. Hit the 4 Tolito pretty hard too. Got a few others as well, but nothing that won't spring back.
Really impressed by how developed your plants are already. They're really looking good! I'm wondering if your Tolito pods will be yellow too.
We were pretty lucky here. The hail was small,CaneDog said:
about 1/4" max, and mixed with heavy rain.
There are a few leaves with holes and tears
on quite a few plants, but not as bad as your
bout. As the leaf wounds start to shrink open,
there will be more holes evident, I'm sure. Also,
in a week or two, the bruises on the tender stems
will show up. If we don't have another hail storm,
the plants should be good to go.
I have no idea what to expect from the Tolito.
Maybe a nice surprise like leo72's brown seed
Cumari!
My plants look about as good as they ever have
this year. After last year, anything would look good,
though!
No more tag team hail storms, though, okay?
My galapagoense plant has begun to set fruit 
I'm counting several peppers now... Perhaps the change of weather plays a role? Humidity has increased and temperatures are a little lower (32-34°C) now.

It is quite a peculiar bush
Only when standing right next to it, it becomes clear the plant is loaded with buds, flowers, and now also little berries. This is not obvious (to me) from a distance.
hi friend, very pleased to see your wild plants grow so wellPaulG said:In the Cumari World...
The wild Cumari, white seed, from Leo72',
really doing its thing:

The yellow spots are pollen captured in rain drops...
Lots of pods:

Got a nice surprise when the first flower appeared
on the brown seed wild Cumari, also from Leo:
