They should be in the WXYZ box - but they aren’t.
And they’re not in the “NEW” box either.

They love heat - last year was perfect for them... so far, not sure this year they will be that good. Still so cold!
Im going today try queen lime red?

Another little update. They still look like slightly unhealthy chilli plants to me.  . Not what I was expecting at all. Don’t know what I was expecting, but not chilli impersonators. They have very fleshy stems. Bit like succulents.
It’s getting close to them having their first day in the tunnel.
There’s 3 of them in the photo.

What think they will colour up nicely when the weather warms up a bit.

Another little update. They are now planted in their permanent home. I did as chiltern seeds website said with 2 of them. Pinch out the first flower spike. They don’t seem to have grown at all since I did that. The other two have flowers on them they’re very cool. But a lot smaller than the ones in florists. Don’t know if they’ll get any bigger. Will just have to see what happens.

How unusual! Never seen those flowers before.

They're definitely weird but you're right to be proud of them. It's unlikely anyone else will have them. You'll be unique

I think bombays are single stemmed. So not ones you pinch out - I think chilterns have the wrong info up. Nice to have flowers so early though.
