Cute seedlings of Bishop's Crown - Multicolored

These are just adorable, the seedlings of Multi-coloured Bishop's Crown chili. Bishop's Crown chili are Capsicum baccatum, which I love as they have a different, more fruity flavour than Capsicum annuum or C. frutescens. For this variety, the stem are purple, that is they have anthocyanine in them. They were a tad slow in germinating, taking more than a week. However, germination rate was 100% for all the seeds that I have sown.
