Looking for a seed source. Or the exact latin name of the variety, my
google searches have been fruitless, pun intended.

thx!

It looks like the following person has some peppers for sale.

I can't tell if it's seeds or starts.

I'm saving the seeds of my own three varieties of Pepper plants (sweet,
bell and hot) this season.
I should have plenty spare suitable for trade or send an SSAE.

Cheers

So, what are you doing to insure seed purity?

I've bought a few pepper plants that I can't find seeds for, and I was
thinking of trying to save my own seeds. Peppers cross-pollinate so
easily, though. There is a man on an email list I'm on who has some
excellent suggestions that I'm going to try. He raises a lot of rare
_Capsicum _ species, and has a lot of experience preventing
cross-pollination.

He suggested using mosquito netting from an Army/Navy surplus store
to put around the branches, then giving the plants a good shake
everyday so that they'll pollinate themselves.
