Sherry, was that variegated in my seeds? If so, it would be Jigsaw. It is the only variegated pepper I have had (and it is a dwarf also - but not as small as Hot Marbles).

I think you're right JaNan because I could have sworn they were all your seeds. I thought it was a marble plant but it started to look different than the other two. Now it makes sense. Thanks JaNan...that's just terrific news!


They all look so great together and they're thriving...I think I might leave them together. I love pots of different peppers.


I really went nuts this year and sowed tons of hot pepper seeds. I grow them great indoors and they'll cheer me up while I'm packing. I'll show more soon...

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Ok JaNan, here's that other variegated plant that was with the marbles. What do you think?...





: )

[Jananas Bananas]

Very pretty! Sherry I am not sure. My Jigsaw had small leaves and had three or four colors on them. Yours looks like it only has variegation on just a couple of the leaves, but that could be getting started in the AG and your feeding program. I will go look again in my old picture files and see if I can find it. I think I looked for it once before and couldn't find it. Thanks for taking the shot for me. Does it look like the other variegated one you have also? ~J

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Oh how exciting JaNan.


I love a good mystery!


The other variegated one I have is smaller. Not the best shot but you can see the white on 2 of the leaves, on the smaller seedling of the two...

Anyone growing Fish Pepper this year?

[Jananas Bananas]

Sherry, have you had a chance to look up those Calico peppers? That is very similar looking to my Jigsaw. There is about five colors on the leaves with lots of purple. And if I am not mistaken the are edible ornamentals. Tell me what you think!

~JaNan

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Yes JaNan, that is one gorgeous beauty!


I can't wait to grow yours though. What colors are the fruits? It sounds amazing. Maybe I should take out the basil or the zinnia and keep it in my aero-garden!!!


Thanks for sharing it.


: )

[Jananas Bananas]

It is just a tad bit taller than Marbles, but I think it got quite wide (and you know me I didn't prune it to make it that way!!!)

The fruit is purple until ripe, then it is red. It has a lot of purple in it, and lavender, which is why I chose it of course! I think you will really love it as much as you do Marbles when you see all the color it has. ~J

[The Hollyberry Lady]

I've got a tiny seedling already growing in the pod with the zinnia JaNan!!!


Now I feel like taking the zinnia out and keeping the Jigsaw in there! I have to sleep on it and make some decisions I guess.


That just sounds too beautiful, JaNan. I can't wait to see the colors. I bet it would be stunning in the A-G, like the marble.


: )

[Jananas Bananas]

Didn't you tell me you had a fish pepper started also, Sherry? It is a variegated pepper also isn't it? You know me - I do love the variegated stuff!

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Yes it is a variegated type, JaNan. Even the fruits are variegated! They're green with whitish stripes. A totally wickedly cool variety! I grow one every year!


Here's my "Fish" seedling...





You'll have seeds for it soon JaNan.


: )

[The Hollyberry Lady]

My Black Pearl seedlings are growing nicely...

Just in case you were all wondering, here's some shots of all my species. The gnat maggots I mentioned earlier don't seem to be able to bother these seedlings once they get to a certain size, I guess because they probably develop oils that are probably toxic to them.

There's already noticeable differences between each species.

Bhut Jolokia


Cayenne


Banana


Devil's tongue


Trinidad Scorpion


Pequin

Purple pepper plants are so cool...





I'm enjoying watching this pot of purple and green mixed varieties grow...





Loving this pot as well, of two "Marble" and one "Jigsaw"...





Here they are from the top after a shower. Healthy as anything and setting buds...





I like how purple this little mystery guy is turning out...





...and this one too...





2 Thai Dragons with a mystery variegated type in the back of pot...





Many Chilly chili plants in one pot...





I hope these mystery ones get more and more purple...





: )

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Woops, I forgot to show my Bolivian Rainbow with the others also...





It's got buds!!!

Super chilies with peppers and spider mites.

A minor point really, but most of those chili peppers are different cultivars of the same species: Capsicum annuum.
