Appropriately they're called Pretty in Purple and the flowers are gorgeous :D

I've got half a dozen or so pods marked for collecting seed at the end of the year, so I'll have loads more next year :D

Yabba mine are about four leaves high (well some of them are two actually) so a way to go before there are any flowers I think. Had plenty of bullet chillis last year and saved seeds for this year too. Overwintered a single scotch bonnet plant, which is now looking a bit healthier after it fell off the staging in the greenhouse -  no idea how    :wub: but it snapped a couple of stem tops off ( I've called it pruning hahahahahaha)

Most of the ones I started in January are in flower or have flower buds. The second sowing I did in March are still tiny.

I think I'll avoid your pruning method :tongue2:

My chillis from last year, growing a lot more this year as I was successful in saving lots of seed.









Have you any spare seed of this naughty variety? :tongue2:

I have seen the seeds for that sort of pepper advertised before - I had to resist the temptation to but them as I think it could confuse the kids!!  :D

I'd have said "killed with kindness" too I'm afraid.  Mine only get fed when the flowers set and I use tomato fertiliser.
Ditto (or a tablespoonful of comfrey juice in the water when I water them.
