Capsicum spring flowers

Hi!

Not really spring yet. But the overwintered varieties are flowering!

Bode roxa
Beautiful flowers on this Capsicum chinense.

And another one.

Roumanian Gallo
Capsicum annuum are rare in my windows. But this one made me curious. Looks like it soon will have a pod coming. This one is from this season. Three months ago, we started the seeds. Already flowers.

Congo yellow

 

I like the shape of this one. Like a street light.

Habanero yellow
More chinense. With a little luck, I can have fresh habaneros for midsummer :-)

Wild Brasil
Very different variety. The flowers really come in clusters. Here you can see a tiny pod shaping.

Wishing you a great week!

Wild Brasil

Hi!

This is a fantastic variety. I've never seen Capsicum flowers like this. 7-9 flowers in a cluster.

Here, the flowers from another perspective.

The pods are small, red and very hot. I realize I need to take a picture of them, but it's too dark now.

Wishing you a great week!

Looking good, so far

Hi!

It's starting to "move" on the balcony. Some peppers are getting ready, and some are getting started.

Here are some samples.

Habanero red

A typical habanero. I like the way they are turning red. Shifting from green, over a kind of yellow, and then red.

And this one is really bright red.

CGN 21500 

 This one is new for me. Thank you Jukka! The pods grow two and two, almost like cherries. Dark purple, almost hard to catch on a picture.

Trepadeiro Werner

This one is also new for me. Once again, thanks to Jukka! I can't get a picture of the plant, since it's all over the place. Trepadeiro means climbing (or something like that), and I fully agree. It climbs on all the other plants. Beautiful small pods.

Dedo de moça

My old brazilian classic. A true favorite.

Malagueta

This one is a malagueta that I got on the market in Salvador 15 years ago. I've never succeeded to grow it, so the seeds are old. But it looks promising. The size of the pods is bigger than an ordinary malagueta. I really hope that it produces some pods.

And this is my over-wintered "ordinary" malagueta. It's really fiery. Instant heat :-)

Wild Brasil

A new variety for me. Typical chinense. The flowers are in clusters of six. It looks really interesting.

Look at this amazing cluster of flowers.

Habanero yellow

 Of all habaneros, I think that the yellow ones usually are the best. Hope that this is true for this one too.

Wishing you all a great week!
