The seeds from this chili will not germinate as well as passed through
the digestive system of a bird... I like the parrot doing all the
work... I all I need to do is cover his poop in some fertile soil.

We are good to go. I'll keep everyone posted. If you have not discovered
the wonderful heat and flavor of these chilies give them a try. The Seed
Coop I mentioned can ship you a small bag.

Even though dried tepin are the bomb when it comes to chili flavor! (Use
as a table condiment crushed on every day foods including ice cream) the
Fresh tepin is out of this world! no other sweetness and heat combined
on earth.

If you love chili you must try tepin. pequin are ok but not even close
to the original cousin of the chilitepin.
