Incan Treasure

[Eric Muehlbauer]

This is the Incan Treasure (kovachii x longifolium) that NY Eric gave me 2 years ago in exchange for some jolokia peppers. (Eric- the peppers are growing very well this year! I already have a lot on the plants!)
Very fast growing plant...it was tiny when I got it. But I think next repotting I'll get rid of the extra calcium...the leaves are very pale and streaky. Enjoy!

Very nice. I wish my Pk hybrids would bloom. Save me a couple of the peppers!

Reminds me of Sally Field, the Flying Nun.

But seriously, I would have thought that longifolium would have asserted itself in the pouch more so than what we see here. I guess PK has some dominance, too. Very nice!

Nice color, and very interesting bird-in-flight shape

If it just opened, it'll change somewhat. Great pouch!

Interesting shape Eric! Lots of potential there.

the flower looks huge in comparison to the plant

 

[NYEric]

True, that is a small plant.

Some of it is perspective..the flower is only 3.5-4" across...but it is a seedling.

Congrats flowering it Eric. I like the overall colors, but the shape is, well, a little scary!
