edenfallingI have been moving the pots in and out because of low overnight temperatures. The plants seem to be tolerating the repeated changes reasonably well.
The Lazarus pepper began blooming last week, and its first flower will probably transition to a pepper fruit within the next few days. Meanwhile, the lower pepper on the plant with the miraculous good luck shield is starting to ripen and turn red-orange. Unlike the sideways pepper, it's doing this all over rather than starting from a single point, which means the whole thing has a vaguely brownish tinge rather than having a single spot of actual orange that I can photograph to show you.
As you can see from the fifth picture, the pepper on the plant that lost an entire branch to squirrels has a small brown spot near its stem, but I think it is purely cosmetic and of no consequence.

2) the Lazarus pepper, still blooming
3) the decapitated pepper, with its two fruits

4) the repotted pepper
5) the pepper that lost an entire branch to squirrels
6) and the pepper with the good luck shield, starting to ripen
