One of the 4 C. eximium accessions had purple cotyledons and looks like will have purple on the leaves too. http://www.fototime.com/E830D81A328CF6A/standard.jpg That was kinda a surprise. The other 3 accessions had green cotyledons. Here is one of them just starting to sprout. When I see the radicle forming I cover them with the ProMix VFT until they sprout. Something new I'm playing with this year (surface sowing) & am liking it very much so far. http://www.fototime.com/7C300D25A3573CC/standard.jpg JohnT ----- Original Message ----- From: Love2Troll To: chile-heads Sent: Saturday, April 03, 2004 11:24 PM Subject: [CH] Ulupica Is Ulupica simply a local name or a specific species or variety?
