These things, once they are ready, start throwing flowers like crazy, and the fruit come quickly after that. I will wait another week or so before my next full update, but things are really popping out there! The color changes these will go through will be pretty interesting to watch (not all of them of course - that's the fun, spotting the ones we each like best).

I have 74 plants from this project growing that were planted on May 7. I added an additional 13 yesterday after looking at the remaining seedlings and spotting a few more distinct types. Of the original 74 plants, of which 49 have open flowers, 21 have buds and 4 are just starting to form tiny buds. There are small to tiny fruit now on 26 of the plants - just about all are starting out pale yellow or pale yellow green, and some are turning various shades of purple or lavender.

Here is a look at my two rows of these experimental hots.
