Re: need seeds from Spain

Of course, all domesticated "peppers"/chiles are cvv. of C. annuum, (with a few exceptions like those with black seeds, which are often called C. pubescens). There are probably thousands of varieties of C. annuum, with very different "organoleptic properties" -- so the species name is not in this case very specific.

Capsicum annuum is I think the botanical name of Pimiento padrón. (I could well be wrong!) It looks like you can get it from www.b-and-t-world-seeds.com <http://www.b-and-t-world-seeds.com> ( the name of this site has just been given to me by another contributor ) who I think will send it all over the world. If you don't have any luck on this website. I will try and get it here for you in the Costa Blanca. 

Best wishes

    I would like to find someone in Spain who is willing to buy some
    seeds and mail them to me in France. Specifically, I want 4
    packages of Pimento di Padron or Pimiento Padron. These are the
    small green peppers cooked in oil and served as tapas in Spain.
    The California Master Gardeners organization is _very _fond of
    these tasty morsels and this year’s crop has not lived up to
    previous levels of gustatory delight! (The seeds came from Franchi
    Sementi. )

    I’ve found a website selling the seeds:

    http://www.gardencenterejea.com/index.php?id=741&sec=7&enl
    <http://www.gardencenterejea.com/index.php?id=741&sec=7&enl>=

    with the following: SÓLO PEDIDOS NACIONALES – I take this to mean
    sales in Spain only? But maybe they are available at every local
    seed shop?

    Please contact me directly if you would be willing to help me with
    this “transaction”.

    Thanks
