Harvest time
First pods have been collected and I'm quite satisfied with the outcome. Lemon Drop is making a ton of seeds. I'll find out about the others after I've done their "autopsies". On a side note, I tried drying a Lemon Drop pod with really stone age-ish method and ground it down with a mortar. The final product looks really REALLY suspicious :D :D

Oh yes!
The waiting has paid off! First Lemon Drop pod has started turning yellow. The most advanced Boli pods are now strong orange and going towards red.

Color shifting
Recently the Boli started getting lighter in color and some of the pods are showing some orange like color already. I'm really anxious to see the Lemon Drop ripe up but it still keeps me waiting.

Crowded
The plants are totally taking over the box. Watering has been quite difficult for some time already and I'm losing sight of the bottom! Not necessarily a bad turn but... well... running outta room any day now. I really underestimated the capabilities of the "solarium" :D I may need to "rig for red" in near future to control the growth and concentrate on blooming.
Some new pics, also from the field of blooming and podding.
Here's the "Crowded House"...

...a nice Cayenne pod...

...and a battery of Lemon Drop pods.

Boli-pods
The Boli is pushing pods now as well! Dark purple blueberry like at the moment. Who knows it might be nice and colorful by x-mas :)

The first Lemon Drop pod is also growing nicely.

Another step forward
I switched two of the Cayennes into bigger pots (really good looking pots IMO) and while putting them back into the "solarium" I noticed something new among the flowers of the Lemon Drop.

Ladies and gentlemen, according to my limited knowledge that would be a Lemon Drop pod!
And here's a pic of one of the Cayennes in a new pot showing two massive flowers.

Bloom, bloom, bloom...
Nice progress in the solarium. The Boli has exploded and the Lemon Drop opened its first flower with a few others at the verge of opening.
