Rodney,
I started a few "Christmas" pepper seeds this winter that I received from
Miss Dewi. One of the three that I started had a (blatantly) different stem
hue (already noticeably purplish at even 5cm!). Although the leaves and
plant structures are similar, while the "normal" ones had white flowers and
initially cream colored peppers, the odd one had purple flowers and shorter
purple peppers!
Beautiful plant, but I have no idea "who the father was"! Will save some
seeds, for sure, just out of curiosity.
Remember: pollen is very, very, very, very small... and even nunneries feel
the effects of a strong breeze.

Subject: [CH] seedling color
Hello everyone hope you are all well . I have a question to put forth .
One of the varieties I am growing this year are serranos . Nothing
special but a delicious variety none the less. Of the 9 seedlings 1 of
them is purple , completely purple. It is the same shape, leaf structure
and general size of it`s companions yet even as it gets larger the color
remains the same. I have nicknamed it Barney you know after the
childrens dinosaur . Is this a result of cross polination ? Has anyone
else seen this ?
