I am new to the list and, where I live, a very lonely chile head.
The local grocer doesn't even stock jalapeno potato chips.
Shame, because I'm growing out some wonderful plants.
I have one I saved from extinction and has been confirmed as
unique by CPI. I have attached an image of this precious child.
It's called Pearl, in honor of the lady in whose yard it developed.
Pearl
C. annuum
90 days
Dusky blue-green foliage. Seed acquired from Tyrone Washington from plants that grew wild in his mother’s garden in the Watts area of Los Angeles. Named in her honor. Tall plants produce 1 inch long black and dark green narrow fruit that turns red at maturity. EXTREMELY HOT! My Source: I maintain this seed.
I have another I can't find anywhere else, but I'm not ready to claim
it is also unique. It is a cayenne type, yellow to orange to red as
it ripens, that is about twice as hot as a long slim cayenne.
Yellow Fire
C. annuum
85 days
Obtained from Mike Wadsworth of Mike’s Sickle Shop, who got them from Joe Harris, a biker who originally found them in a cousin’s southeast
Alabama gardem in the early 1990’s. Very hot, very prolific 3 foot
bushes are covered with green/yellow cayenne shaped peppers that
turn bright lemon yellow then ripen to purple to red.
My Source: Mike Wadsworth
I have seeds for Pearl, now and will have seeds for Yellow Fire after
this season.
I am also growing out true Siling Labuyo, not a knock-off pretend.
I obtained the seeds from a Filipino. I have no seeds yet, but
hope to.
I'm open to trade, or I don't ming just sending some; but amounts will
be smallish. I can't squander my replant reserve.
