Those Black Pearls are stunning.

Your Labuyo is loaded. I'm growing them up here but they are tiny compare to yours.

Well done. Thanks for the pics

Those first two are absolutely beautiful looking plants. Whoa.

roper2008 · July 26, 2011

Thank you. First 2 are ornamentals. I think I will do only the black
pearl next year. No red peppers on the siling labuyo yet. Hopefully
soon because the peppers are not getting bigger but a little lighter
in color.

I've been growing Black Pearl for years that I "borrowed" from an arboretum years ago - it's become crossed and I have some spectacular selections that I work on each year. I thought it might be an F1, since seed saved from it really segregates - but perhaps the fruit I borrowed had been crossed. Once I take some more pics I will show some of the variations.

Beautiful peppers!!!!

Well I'm going to save seeds of this black pearl and see what
I get next year.

I have grown the pepper in your second picture for over a decade now. It comes easily from seed and is always true. It is not terribly flavorfull, but always handy when you want to add a little heat to a dish. And it is a really good looking plant as well, which is why I grow it in the first place.

The pepper in the second picture was some extra seed someone
send me in a trade. Was not going to plant the seeds, but did
at the last minute. I crowded about 7 plants in that pot. I don't
think I'll be growing it next year.
I think one of the prettiest ornamentals I have seen is purple flash.
Johnny's sells it. I might order that this winter.

Here are some of the ones I am playing around with - none of these have names, but there are clearly Black Pearl types (which I am selecting from) and slender, colored ones (one I named Bouquet is in the reselection stage).

This is 60 of my 120 or so plants in half gallon pots...great evaluation size, easy to care for!

Beautiful assortment, Craig. I can't believe you're getting that kind of result from 6" pots. Do you have to fertilize often?
