[AlexChupetinho]

Lee, how do you do that???
I also use soil and nutrients but my plants are the half so big an bushy like yours!!!
Amazing!

[lee]

Appreciate your comments. No special tricks or what so ever..Again the spring was good, we had lots of sunshine and good temperatures. Most sunshine ever recorded during April here in the Netherlands .


C.tovarii 2010 Overwintered plant

Plants is doing great and is far ahead of my 2011 C.tovarii plant, lots of new growth and most important lots of flowers. This years harvest will be very early and will have more yield as the plant already is bearing lots of fruits. Last year I had to ripen the pods inside the house under growlights












C.cardenasii 904750136

The plant is self compatible and very prolific. In the nodes grow 1-3 flowers but mostly 2 flowers per node. The majority of the flowers are "shorter" and have strong culled tips. It looks like the membrane between the petals is missing!! My first thought is that the membrane between the petals gives more stiffness in the petals and prevents that it curls up like in the picture below..
Also very remarkable is that  new flowers are more or less campanulate. In the picture you can see the difference

A little update. The weather is really bad here with lots of rain etc.. They predict that July will be the wettest month ever recorded here in the Netherlands. Forecast for next week is massive showers every day.. Anyway some plants are doing great and some need some more growing/maturing.

Stem diameter is about 20mm


Trepadeira do Werner. Good fruit production




Biquinho. Pods look very nice

Very informative meeting we had at the Botanical Garden in Nijmegen. Unfortunately not much capsicums but lots of Solanaceae species. They recently received the Solanaceae collection that M.nee and Lynn Bohs collected in Bolivia. During the same periods they collected C.caballeroi.

Very surprising to hear that A.Hunziker accompanied by lots of other Famous researchers visited the Garden in 2000 during the Solanaceae congress in Nijmegen. He almost cried when seeing  Solanaceae species growing there which he had never seen before, he only studied dried specimens..

Great pictures! And great work on wild chilis, too. We should all combine our forces and expertise, and try to help to rescue the rarest wild capsicums by growing them. Also, a trip to Brazil could be a thing to do.

Hi guys,

Haven't been "on line" for some while now so here is a short update.

Roof terrace. Plants are still in a decent shape and most fruits are finally matured. The summer was very bad here but late September early October we had some very good weather with high temperatures up to 25 Degrees C. Will do a final harvest this weekend and will post more harvest pictures. About time to clean up the place


C.tovarii A good harvest this year. Hundreds of pods and plant is still loaded



C.cardenasii 904750136 Lot's of pods
