Delicosa, I think? The HOT philo type right now. The one with the split leaves. No, these weren't variegated. Krogers has, or rather had them, I'm sure they're sold out by now. I'll check our data base and get back to this thread. 😊

Always looking for interesting plants for pollinators and food! Bonus points for highly, and pleasantly scented plants.

Wow! That Kalanchoe species used to grow in my student office back in college. We passed out the little plantlets to everybody. Alas, none survived our move. The one in the office was huge though. As near as we could figure from conversations with past students and staff, it had been left behind decades prior.

It looks pretty poor now after a winter inside. We've had a lot of cloudy days, so even though it sits right in front of a south window, it s light starved. I'm doing cuttings to revive it, and it should recover when I put it back outside for the summer.

Just wait, it's early yet! I would imagine they will look quite different come June; lush, filled out and full of peppers! ( I know the first pics are your peppers).

And that was not all of the chili pepper plants, I am still expecting 12 more to arrive the week of March 29th and then they will go into more grow bags
and some other pots!!
Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds that you plant.

I do know that I have several of those canvas grow bags and I will be planting most of the 12 new Chili Peppers set to arrive the week of March 29 in
those grow bags.

Is it bad to covet some of these containers?
I had to scroll back to find those pics...I covet, too! I love little handmade pots. When I lived in a more temperate climate I had many similar (but nothing like that collection ). Alas, can't use them now...here in this arid heat I'd be watering three times a day.
@williator, I think on another thread you said you didn't have a place for tomato trellises. What about using your deck railing?
