Seeing some big purple blossoms on the "pubes" in the left rear.
The right front (Fatali or Datil - I forget which) is also blossoming nicely now.

Seeing lots of big purple blossoms on the 'pubes' and lots of blossoms on the other peppers as well, but probably because of my neglect, nothing's setting.

Maybe set up a small fan so you don’t have to actively pollinate.

Around the back, I can see a few large-ish peppers that've set on the capsicum pubescens plant.

Of all the plants in the farm, this is the one I'm most interested, because it's also the least common type of hot pepper.

Yeah, I was reading about them yesterday after your post. I mean the name...  Anyway, it's a perennial, so that's cool! If you like it, you can keep it for a LONG time (+/- 15 years), and it's "juicy and meaty". |

The designation "pubescens" refers to the fact that its leaves are hairy. Can't make this up.
Got the nickname off a FB group.

I was reading that. It cracked me up. I'll let you know if I ever grow up!

Sadly had to terminate this one. I only ever got peppers off the Capsicum Pubescens that I planted later. It was pretty much crowding out the origianal three.
