Very nice, healthy plants and I'm quite pleased with them. One of the plants wasn't quite as black, but these are plants and a certain amount of that is to be expected.

HOT PEPPERS: When Wilbur Scoville first devised a means to test the heat of peppers, his hottest entry then came in at 20,000 units. Habanero and Thai chilies can go as high as 60,000. Compare that to the sweet bell pepper at zero. When hot peppers are consumed, capsaicinoids bind with pain receptors in the mouth and throat that are responsible for sensing heat. Once activated by the capsaicinoids, these receptors send a message to the brain that the person has consumed something hot. The brain responds to the burning sensation by raising the heart rate, increasing perspiration and release of endorphins. Hot peppers should be eaten with caution!
Black Pearl Hot Pepper: Black Pearl Hot Pepper 2006 AAS Winner.The first completely black-leafed pepper. A great choice for containers or planting in the garden. Foliage turns fromgreenish to glossy black with maturity, aided by the sun and heat. Very shiny black fruit matures dark red. Very, Very hot! 14 to 18 inches high, spreading 12 to 16 inches. Grow as an ornamental or in the vegetable garden or both!

2 Hardy Kiwi Plants - Actinidia - MALE/FEMALE - Tasty Review

The previous review from "kiwigrower" is a little inaccurate. The photo shown in the ad is indeed actinidia arguta, hardy kiwi. I, too, grow kiwi, but in Oklahoma and it grows well and produces prolific quantities of smooth, green tasty fruit. We get temperatures down to 0F and it survives well. The description is accurate, too. I think "kiwigrower" might be panning the competition as he is selling kiwi plants on his website for $25 each!
A good source of information on growing kiwi Is the factsheet from Oklahoma State University Extension HLA-6249 (a PDF file), available free if you Google it.
If it'll grow in Oklahoma it'll grow most anywhere. We have very cold winters and hot, hot summers.
By the way, this is a good price for kiwi plants.

The Hardy Arctic Kiwi is THE FRUIT OF THE FUTURE. Fruits are now being marketed and sold in produce stores. It has been accepted in the marketplace and the demand will be growing in the very near future for the small delicious fruits. The Hardy Kiwi, are native to the mountains and hills of southwestern China where they grow wild in trees and on bushes. The Hardy Kiwi was introduced to the United Kingdom, Europe, United States, and New Zealand between 1900 to 1910 from China. Commercial plantings were made in New Zealand about 1930 and have become widespread over the last 20-30 years. These plants have been tested in New Hampshire and upper New York State where they survived 25 degrees F below zero temperatures! Kiwi plants are attractive growers that require a sunny location, preferably with wind protection. They can be grown in different types of soils; however, the soil must be well drained. The vines take very little maintenance-just pruning and support to hold about 100 lbs. of fruit for a mature plant. Plant 10 to 20 ft. apart. They are hardy in zones 4-9. Kiwi plants are very pretty when used to cover a wall or fence or used in landscape design. The fruit is very high in Vitamin C and its use in recipes is endless. The hardy Kiwis ripen in mid to late September. Growing instructions included with each order. Two Hardy Kiwi Plants are necessary to get fruit, a male and female. Female Plant: Actinidia 'Anna'. An outstandingly reliable bearer of relatively large fruit. The fruit is very sweet. A nurseryman from Tennessee, reports that in 1996 his large vine of 'Anna' bore over 200 lbs. of fruit. Imported into the U.S. from Belgium. Male Plant: Actinidia 'Meader'. Use as a pollinator for female selections. A beautiful vine on it's own!
The 2 plants you will receive are growing in 2 1/2" pots.

I purchased these seeds last spring. It took awhile for the vines to flower, but once they did boy were they spectacular! If you container plant these seeds, be sure not to let the soil dry out. I have so many seed pods from these 3 vines its crazy! SO many flowers! Also, the color was nothing like in the posted photograph, but were more of a very vibrant amethyst purple with a crimson veining. Not burgandy-ish at all, but very beautiful regardless.

DELPHINIUM: These spiked flowers originated in Europe and are found naturally in forest clearings. They're an old-fashioned favorite. Gorgeous spikes come in jewel-like shades of blue, lavender and diamond-bright white, some with darker center spots.
This very popular long-stemmed perennial offers stately flower spikes in shades of lavender, blue, purple and white. An ideal background plant growing 4 to 8 feet tall. Outstanding in the garden or as a cut flower. Gorgeous and graceful spikes of dense blossoms. Delphiniums will thrive in sunny locations with rich, moist, well drained soils. Pacific Giants are the best available in double and semi-double florets.
