The seeds attached to my business card could be just about anything I offer, past or present, Capsicum, of course. I started doing it years ago as a little promo thing to remind folks of my Peppermania for their chile seeds and other chile pepper-phenalia. It seems to get folks' attention as I get lots of inquiries about them. The black seeds are Manzano C pubescens, the rest are collected from pods I forget the ID - got mixed up, I get tired of sorting, get Hunan Hand, have excess quantity or seeds that flick on the table, the mix is ever changing. I don't cull them like the seeds I offer on my site. Many folks grow them, find new favorites and send photos for ID.
I am forever finishing up & on pickup finding one or two "jumpers" which I dutifully gather into a "unknown" labeled coin envelope - to be planted "someday".
