Very nice! I have always been curious about the wild varieties. Your plants look amazing. It would also be interesting to get a report on the taste of the different varieties! =) Which are your favourites?
 
so far i've only grown Bolivian Small Red (baccatum var. baccatum) and the Pea (baccatum var. baccatum), and they taste very different then most chili's.
Very fruity...nice heat too.
But the main reason i'm growing wild chili's is not for the taste, but for the absolute beauty of the plant, flowers and most of all the fruit.
 
Wow very nice looking plants, I have not seen pics of the wild varieties before. I would like to grow many of those too. Might I ask where you got all the seeds for so many different varieties?

Nice assortment of wilds. I think you and Lee should hook up for some trades. :)

Thanks guys, me and Lee hooked up long time ago, and run a forum together, dedicated on wild's. That is also the place to see more pic's, more info and maybe even some seeds of the wild varieties. Take a look at the site or the Forum
 
Nice plants!! :) I'm excited as my Tovariis just hit 24" tall indoors!! So did my Buforum and my C. Flexuosum is 18" tall. I can't wait to get them outdoors. I'm even planning on putting a few in the ground to really try to get them bigger. I never dared it before.
