Hi John and Nigel, Boy you guys can really take good close ups, my little cam blurs to the point that you can't make out the flowers at all, I wish I could get a good close up of the white flower Praet. as every time I take a look at the flowers that start off greenish with green Baccatum markings on the inside of the petals and just a tiny touch of bluish purple marks at the tips of the petals and only turns whitish as the bloom gets older, keeps me thinking it had some how crossed with a C. chinense.
I'm just now getting small pods developing it will be a while before the pods are ripe. As I still have some dried pods I will examine the pods to see if they look like each other from the last time I grew them, so far it is still to early to tell and I might not know for sure unless I have them checked for different gene descriptions.
I had hoped for some yellow podded chiltepins, but the last of the 3 small seedlings died, so I will have to put it on my list of must haves for next year.
I have a couple of places that I will be buying seeds from this summer, so that I know they will have what I want, as I want to grow some other more rare varieties like C. flexuosum and C. lanceolatum I will be hard pressed to find them from any of the usual vendors, so I will buy or beg seeds from here.
I notest today one little dried up flower on my Galap. but doubt that I will get a pod this year as the plants are so small and are being plagued by aphids. All of my other wilds are developing buds, so I will be getting a small amount of pods from them.
when doing this. Nigel is right,seeds are the size of a pinhead.
