Guest guest Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 Hi, Just bought some Quilquina http://petterssononline.com/habanero/peppers.php?action=varietiesinspecies & genus\ =other & species=plants <http://petterssononline.com/habanero/peppers.php?action=varietiesinspecies & genu\ s=other & species=plants> " It reminds a little of cilantro, but the taste is stronger. And the smell from the leaves is fantastic. " http://www.drugsbase.nl/artikel.asp?artikel=364 <http://www.drugsbase.nl/artikel.asp?artikel=364> " Quilquina (Killi) Porophyllum rudirale Family: Apiaceae Annual. Native to South America. Unusual. The odor of the green herb is a bit like a combination of Coriander and Rue. Completely unique. The leaf is used in Bolivia as a condiment which also lowers blood pressure. Cultivation: Easy. May be sown in the greenhouse and transplanted or seeded directly in the garden as you would Marigolds. Full sun, moderate water. Space plants 1 foot apart. Grows to 4 feet. " Bought it at Master Gardeners of Santa Clara County Eleventh Annual — Spring Garden Market http://www.mastergardeners.org/events/2005/SGM_2005.html <http://www.mastergardeners.org/events/2005/SGM_2005.html> Admittedly I also bought the following 11 hot peppers too: csipos fuzepaprika aji yellow russian rocoto tabasco greenleaf malagueta piquin firecracker santaka sonoran chiltepin ulupica bulgarian carrot billy goat And we bought two more tomatoes: Gardeners Delite (cherry) Stump of the World (similar to beefsteak) Then we had thai food at the Blue Mango in San Jose which also has a separate vegetarian menu. (We found out when we got back in the car to head home that during our meal the Pope's death had been announced.) Actually started the morning at Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge, http://desfbay.fws.gov/ <http://desfbay.fws.gov/> trying to see what birds we could see. Maybe we saw a grebe but we're not sure. Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 Gary that Quilquina plant sounds great (love cilantro or in this case anything tasting like it). Do you think we could find these at our local farmers market? Wow, I've never heard of half those peppers. They sound great. Did you buy the peppers themselves or are they plants that you got to produce them? Thanks.

Do you think we could find these at our >local farmers market? I don't know but I do not recall ever seeing them at any local nursery I've visited or farmers' market. So my first guess is probably not. >Wow, I've never heard of half those peppers. They sound great. Did >you buy the peppers themselves or are they plants that you got to >produce them? Thanks. I bought plants. I hope they are prolific fruit bearers!
