	I too have noticed that different bugs have shown
	preferences for different species/varieties.  The slugs
	loved the chinense and rocotos, sporadically went
	after the annuum, but ignored the keriting.  The aphids
	went after the annuum with gusto, dabbled in the 
	chinense, but ignored both the keriting and the rocotos.

	Both of my keriting plants have an "interesting" growth
	trait: After reaching 1 foot in height they started branching.
	The weird part is, on each plant one of the resultant 
	branches looks like it wanted to be 2 branches, only 
	they never separated, so it looks like a double branch and
	is thicker than the main stem.  Anybody ever see this
	before?
