Waiting on some yellow Cayenne seeds to pop. Cayenne and Aurora are my two most favorite varieties for heat, flavor, and ornamental beauty. Growing red, purple, and yellow Cayenne this year and over 10 Aurora plants.

"Fluorescent Purple" seedlings coming along...

I should have posted this here. Bhut Jolokia Peppers

[Abnshrek]

The peppers ready today. Jalopeno's will be just right in a week or so :^)

[sunfish]

Pepper ID great tasting pepper any idea which one it is ?

[The Hollyberry Lady]

How's everyone's peppers doing?


Here's a few "Flourescent Purple" seedlings in my kitchen window. Like growing hot peppers inside and out...

Well I'm getting Jalapeno's,Cayenne, Sweet Banana Peppers, but still waiting on my bells to change color. The wife keeps picking them for cooking before they turn, but they taste pretty good in meals so I can't complain. I'd have a photo but its been raining like crazy; for once in a blue moon.. :^)

Here's a few pics of mine. I've been fighting aphids been spraying with insecticidal soap.

I have Bolivian Rainbow (all the fruits are still purple), Red Habanero, Carribean Red, Thia Dragon, Jalapeno, and Giant Marconi--they are all producing, but most have just started. Jalapenos are not producing like normal, so I started some more from seed--they are just comming up. I need to pickle at least 2 gallons to make it thru the winter.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

So Bob, where are those red & ripe Bhut Jolokia fruits you've been raving about. I wanna see a pic...

[Abnshrek]

My Cayenne is doing very good, and Jalapeno's are thicker than thieves on a many of plants. :^)

ok a few weeks late but I still haven't felt brave enough to actually try one....

There's got to be about 60 fruits on this plant and it's healthy as can be.... got any recipes that wont land me in the hospital?
Thanks for sharing the seed...... I think!!!

It is grown commercially for pesticide: commonly used in boat paint and sheathing for direct-bury cable.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

You're welcome, for the seeds...

Wow, do they ever look great Bob! Thanks for showing. So ornamental & appealing, as well.

Lots of people eat Bhut Jolokia peppers and love them. There's some real capsicum fanatics on a hot pepper forum I belong to that even brag about eating them whole! I wouldn't recommend it however!


: o


I would add them to a sauce and only a small amount at a time until you see what you like. Definitely try 'em though.

Very beautiful shot. They sure look great and you did a terrific job of growing them. Peppers in pots is one of my most favorite things.

Please be sure to save some more of the seeds and send them back my way, will ya Bob? Btw, I've still got some of those "Strawberry" tomato seeds for ya as well.

It has often been noted that hot pepper eating contests at the Fair are a lot more fun for the audience than the participants!

Strangely enough, about 80% of the worlds chili pepper crop (by tonnage) is grown for pesticide, not culinary use. The majority of these are grown in SE Asia, but the peppers themselves are hybrids of plants native to Peru.

I picked a ripe bhut jolokia yesterday. I have a crazy friend who wants it!

[sandy0225]

Have you tried white bullet habanero? I'll take a picture and post on here later. They are hotter than a regular habanero, and it's a pretty plant.
Aurora is a great pepper, it tastes like Thai hot. I have a lot of Thai hot seedlings just starting to bloom right now. I'm potting them up for winter sales with red peppers on them.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

"Aurora" is my most favorite hot pepper, along with "long red cayenne". Two varieties that would keep anyone happy.


Never tried the "bullet" Habs, Sandy, but would sure love to see your shots (no pun intended )...

[Jananas Bananas]

Here's one I need an ID on, aren't they cute?

The fruit varies from a small pea to a large pea I would say and from purple to creamy white to yellow to orange then red. I think they are beautiful!







Sherry do you know this variety?
