John, Instead of "tubular", I think a more appropriate term for the C. cardenasii flowers is campanulate, meaning "shaped like a bell". ----- > "This is a different looking pepper plant with very small leaves, wispy branches and long tubular purple flowers. It looks like C. cardenasii to me except for the photo of the open flower you shot in early in the day. Now I'm going to have to look at mine in the morning to see if the flowers are more opened. Do the flowers change from opened to campanulate (or tubular) as the day goes on, or does it take several days for this change to occur?
