Hellas 5,545 Posted June 10, 2016 Ah, ok, from here it seems much bigger 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joefish 5,021 Posted June 10, 2016 Yes I did the same mistake!! The square are 0.5 cm but I thought they were 1 cm. A Rocoto much larger than Rocoto Esquilino would have been a very hot dream (hot in capsicum sense, ok mates?) I'm really curious to see all your fruits Gala!! Amazing cultivation 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cerasello 73 Posted June 11, 2016 Federico, especially for you By the way, other plant became almost normal now. Leaves have the usual form. And only very slow growth of a plant testifies about defect. Yesterday I haven't managed to photograph other plant because strong wind was in a garden. There were several cold nights (+5-7ºC). And leaves of some peppers have got anthocyan pigmentation. In general, the current period is quite difficult for plants because there is very big oscillations amplitude between daytime and night temperatures.

Effec90 755 Posted June 11, 2016 How many plants are you growing Gala? That Rocoto is awesome [emoji39][emoji39][emoji39] 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geez 282 Posted June 11, 2016 Yes I did the same mistake!! Thanks, Peppe I have "misled" many by means of this photo. Yesterday I showed to my son of a photo (original size, 4134х3106) and we talked in Skype. He: - What is this? Tomato or pepper? Its dimension looks as a watermelon, and actually likely as a pea? I: - No... as mandarin My peppers have always the smaller size than it should be. Climate... Rocoto Giant is not very hot, I almost think it is rather to the mild side. However if you eat it, each subsequent slice is getting hotter. How many seeds did you extract from this "pearl"? 52. For the first time in my life I have counted seeds. About as evidenced by the number of seeds in the fruit? How many plants are you growing Gala? That Rocoto is awesome [emoji39][emoji39][emoji39] Thanks, Federico I don't know how many plants. Likely 250... It is too much for me, because I have very limited the area for plants. But... when I buy seeds, I become the shopaholic... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Geez 282 Posted June 28, 2016 The first fruit on my unknown hybrid (Chilito de Simojovel (C. annuum v. glabriusculum) Х Aji Catalan (C.baccatum) ?) has ripened. (The first mentions about it are here.)The fruit fell to the ground. And the pulp of a fruit is soft, typical for glabriusculum.Several photos of this hybrid: Both varieties of Capsicum flexuosum have a little grown up. It is insufficiently to see obvious distinctions. But, at the moment, I think that leaves of PI 631154 are larger, and leaves of a Capsicum flexuosum (ppf) are more hard (solid). PI 631154, Capsicum flexuosum: Capsicum flexuosum (ppf): And several other photos.

joefish 5,021 Posted June 28, 2016 Your plants and photos are always nice and interesting. But, the flowers of the unknown hybrid are really cute Are you going to try to stabilize it? It's worth to try 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geez 282 Posted June 30, 2016 Grazie! I haven't decided yet. On the one hand flowers are cute, but on the other hand this plant has not other outstanding characteristics. It is ordinary C. annuum with some characteristics of glabriusculum and lilac-white flowers. I think for try of stabilization of cross there have to be more strong reasons. The only thing that can encourage me to continuation of this experiment, this my desire to look at F2. I still think that diversity of F2 is more interesting than F1. And, at a successful alignment, maybe I will be able to know who was a father. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Geez 282 Posted August 9, 2016 Chiclayo х Aji Cristal (C.chinense х C.baccatum) F1. Leaves are a little more improvement but pathology is obvious. This is a first flower bud.

Geez 282 Posted August 11, 2016 Yes, very hairy. Only still there is no berry. It is unbearably hot last weeks... But during watering of plants I see my companion. She comes to bathe. Indigena Vermelha (C. sp.)... I can't understand this variety belongs to what species? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hellas 5,545 Posted August 12, 2016 Indigena Vermelha (C. sp.)... I can't understand this variety belongs to what species? I exclude C.baccatum, C.frutescens, C.pubescens. I still doubt among C.chinense and C.annuum. Maybe a C.annuum with the tight knots. I try to ask the boss 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lonewolf 18,624 Posted August 12, 2016 I think it's a C.chinense with (rare) yellow anthers. I know only two cases: CAP 691 (Red Fire) and Sara's Pears This plants looks very similar to Red Fire, but it has quite conspicuous calyx teeth which are not present in that one. Let's see the fruits to know more ... Which is the source? Do you remember seeds color? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geez 282 Posted August 12, 2016 Thanks Danio! Thanks Boss! These seeds have been received from Brazil. I don't have photo and the description of this variety. Only label - Indigena Vermelha São Gabriel Cachoeira Amazonas. I think most likely it is a local variety. Color of seeds is light straw, diameter is about 3 mm. I hope to see the fruits as soon as possible. I'm very, very intrigued... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rapace 9,668 Posted August 13, 2016 Great Gala, I think it's a C.chinense with (rare) yellow anthers. I know only two cases: CAP 691 (Red Fire) and Sara's Pears This plants looks very similar to Red Fire, but it has quite conspicuous calyx teeth which are not present in that one. Looking to the pictures i also noticed a similarity to RedFire (one of my favourite ). I'm now curious to see shape / taste / size of the pods. CAP 691 is a domesticated variety....... but has small pea shaped fruits which remind me some wild peppers........... Is Maybe Indigena Vermelha close to a local "semi-wild" C.chinense variety ? ("Indigena" sounds like "Local original ancient heritage" something who developed there - and not in other places - a long long time ago) The area you mentioned is very close to wilderness Do you know something more about the source ? or can you contact your source to ask something more about this variety ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lonewolf 18,624 Posted August 13, 2016 Indigena Vermelha São Gabriel Cachoeira Amazonas. Good place for wild C.chinense 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geez 282 Posted August 25, 2016 Thanks for your info! Carlo, I can't obtain more information about this variety, now I haven't contact . Indigena Vermelha Finally! The birth of the first fruit. Before that time, all flowers fell down, because intense heat lasts several weeks. Some ornamental varieties...
