Here I am.

[Eric Knight 73]

I like to graft, grow, and hybridize.

 

After a quick peep around here, feel that I could spend a great deal of time here and learn a lot.

 

Many thanks for having me here.

Welcome!!!

 

Ciao

Thanks for the warm welcome Vincenzo.

 

I should add, I love wild specimens and interspecific hybrids especially. 

 

I'm always willing to send out a few seed from my personal hybrids for postage when I have them available. This C. frutescens 'Cabai Burung Ungu' is one that I am also using very extensively as both a pollen donor and a seed setter. And... while I'm busy posting... a few flowers from the above hybrid. I absolutely love the purple picotee edge in that last one.

Thank you for the warm welcome my friends.

 

i see many beautiful pictures in here so I shall continue to share pictures I have taken today...  my own hybrid plants in progress. I try my best to only post pictures on the day they were taken.

Welcome!

Todays fun... I've utilized C. chinense dominant 'Darth Maul' and C. frutescens dominant 'Cabai Burung Ungu' as my pollen donors.

Today, some rodents got into my peppers and I had to harvest this F1BC1 early. Here is hoping the pitiful 9 seeds germinate.

Welcome to Peppefriends.

I suggest you to open also your own topic in the section of cultivations

 

PS: Where are you in USA ? (Many states...

[Eric Knight 73]

I've lived in the following states... Massachusetts, Hawaii, California, Kansas, Florida, Indiana, North Carolina, Georgia, South Carolina, etc. I've also lived in Belgium for a few years. Some of these states I've lived in twice or more. 

 

 Hybridizing, growing, and grafting the things that bring me joy.

 

Today, I'm going to share with you

[Eric Knight 73]

It's winter here and I need to pollinate, thankfully I've secured some pollen earlier in the year in my freezer.

[Eric Knight 73]

I thought I'd share mom

 

And then this is the daughter to that some cross above in progress

 

And then we go another step
