Piri-Piri

 


As request by Nicole, from DVArtist , I would like to publish two pictures of the flowers I see on my balcony in Spring: they're hollyhock and white geranium.

In addition to these two flowers, I have a tiny greehouse which contains wee Piri-Piri plants. I put the seeds more than forty days ago, in late March, and I saw the small Piri-Piri plants in late April.


Piri-Piri is a type of chili pepper widely cultivated commercially in Uganda and in some African Portuguese-language countries. It has grown in the wild in Africa for centuries and now it is cultivated for both commercial food processing and pharmaceutical industry.

If someone liked Piri-Piri plants in her/his garden, balcony or backyard, I would send her/him the seeds  by mail. 

Meanwhile, yesterday I received the first dose of the Pfizer-BioNtech Covid-19 vaccine. It seems I haven't had any symptom after the inoculation.

...GREAT news about your vaccination. The pink flower is lovely!

Flowers look great :-) Our house became like a small garden thanks to my wife:-)) I am very glad that you have been vaccinated. Have a wonderful night.

Mica said...

The flowers look beautiful and what good news that you have been vaccinated! We will still be waiting for some time here in Australia I think - with no cases they seem to be in no rush to give us vaccines sadly!

Hope you are having a good day :) It's a stormy one here!

To Mica and SzgnBsl: thanks for your support (about the vaccination)! I hope people who live in your countries will not need any vaccination, as in Australia and Turkey the virus doesn't spread as easily as we see in Italy, England, U.S., etc. ... not to mention of India and Brasil.

Have a nice Wednesday!

Giorgio said...

To Paola: Ti ringrazio per il supporto. farò la seconda dose del vaccino a fine mese. Per il resto tutto bene. Continuo a seguire con piacere le tendenze della moda in Italia tramite il tuo blog.

Un caro saluto

So beautiful pink and white flowers that cheer up the spring in your city.
I am interested in piri-piri seeds, a type of African chili. Can the piri-piri plant be eaten if it bears fruit?
The good news is that you have received the vaccine and there are no symptoms after vaccination.
In my country the paramedics, teachers and elderly parents have received vaccinations. Meanwhile, we who are young still haven't got their turn for vaccinations.
Have a nice week.
Regards.

The Piri-piri looks really unique, have never heard or seen such plants. I hope your seedlings grow well and remember to take the pics when they bloom.

Very pretty white flowers on your porch, Giorgio.
I was amazed to see its beauty.

And the Piri-piri plant was the first time I found out about it ... and it made me want to know more about this kind of chili plant.
I want to grow it but doubt if it can survive in a tropical climate.

Congratulations you have received the first phase vaccine injection.

It really is beautiful and the name has such a nice ring to it!

Happy Tuesday, Giorgio!

Ciao Giorgio...allora hai proprio il classico pollice verde! A me le piante non riescono così bene, dopo un po' si stufano e mi abbandonano. Non ci so proprio fare. T'invidio. Un saluto e un sorriso.

Ohhh Giorgio I love these flowers and the peppers!!!! OHHHH they are amazing. I wonder if they would grow here in the cold northwest of the US? You certainly have a green thumb.

Ohhh I was so excited about the peppers I forgot to say, I am very happy that you got your first vax. :)
