Red hot

It almost took forever for my chili trio to bear fruit. I was delighted to see their little white flowers bursting out everywhere, but for a long time there was no sign of chili. Then one day, ta-daa!! A single red hot babe has decided to show its pretty face. Can you see it among the huge mess of leaves?



I grew the chilies from seeds; sowed a bunch of them and ended up with 7 little guys. They're surprisingly hardy! Four has since been adopted by Lily, Suriani, Carolyn and Sylvia. Yes.. I'm left with a trio now. Let me know if you want any! They're almost 1 meter high now. I think their leaves are larger than normal because there's not enough sunlight in my place. I'm yet to follow King's advice to use artificial lights to compensate. Be patient, little chili babies! :)
