Those That Are Flowering...

The cayenne pepper has been putting on new stems and leaves, looking greener as ever and I am probably going to see lots of chillies soon as there are lots of flowers coming up. Capsicum and chilli flowers look quite similar as they belong to the same family :

This ornamental but edible spicy chilli (below) is producing more flowers and tiny fruits :
My Purple king (below) gave a wonderful surprise this morning! It is flowering! It is amazing how it looked so dead just a few weeks back and now it is flourishing!

The capsicum in the pot is going to flower soon, despite not having extremely healthy green leaves. I have a feeling it is lacking nitrogen and have since watered in quick plant food 'Aquasol'. Yes, giving it some quick soluble food proves to be the solution. It did become greener and bushier, producing more side shoots :

Comparing with the one in the pot, this one in the vegetable patch has greener and more glossy leaves and also flowering soon :
