Hbl your plants look nice. I can see the pictures on my phone

IndianaSue · 09-07-2009, 08:18 PM

Sbl
I think I have the pepper plant you are looking for. It is exactly as you describe. The whole plant is purple with tinges of green.Leaves are small and Flowers are a pretty shade of lavender purple. Peppers start out purple and then lighten up,, go to white then yellow,orange, and then red..We lost everything we own to a fire that a neighbor let get out of control and walked away.. All was lost as there was not much left of the house but black charred rubble.. A few weeks later lo and behold!! 2 little purple pepper plants rose out of the ashes and there we have it!!! The purple pepper reincarnated as itself!! I'm sure if you PM me with your address I could convince my son to part with one or two so you can have the seeds..
They are a great little pepper~

Hi Everyone:

Just picked up these 2 new hot pepper plants at the greenhouse yesterday. Not like me to buy nursery plants but I just couldn't resist when I saw them. It kind of makes up for my ones that were ripped off. Now I can still enjoy a harvest of hot peppers in September - like I'd planned, before thieves interferred.

Although these plants were not labelled, and I am not sure exactly what they are, I just love them. Both are pretty hot, too.

The last shot shows the two together so you can see the contrast. Already collected seeds from both plants and have them drying on a plate. Hope they will be true seeds. We'll see...

: )

P.S. Expect these two varieties in the Fall as well, Bob and Penny!

: )

Blake09 · 09-08-2009, 01:58 PM

they look like mine

The Hollyberry Lady · 09-08-2009, 02:01 PM

I thought the exact same thing when I saw them Blake! Your chilly chili seeds are beginning to pop for me, by the way! Cool, huh?

: )

Blake09 · 09-08-2009, 02:12 PM

wow already!? mine took 3 weeks to sprout...

Good to here there coming up

snc · 09-08-2009, 02:39 PM

HBL, are they edible? If so what is the heat like?

The Hollyberry Lady · 09-08-2009, 02:49 PM

Yes, they are both edible, Snc - and hot too! The one with the black leaves is likely called...

'Explosive Amber'

: )

The Hollyberry Lady · 09-08-2009, 02:51 PM

Woops - sorry Blake. Yes, mine popped within three weeks! I am looking forward to seeing how they turn out...

: )

Blake09 · 09-08-2009, 04:46 PM

Cool, by the way I tried one!!! HOT

Richard · 09-08-2009, 11:12 PM

I believe they are in the Tabasco group.

The Hollyberry Lady · 09-09-2009, 01:12 AM

I am growing Tabasco peppers - still a seedling right now though.

: )

r3tic · 09-09-2009, 07:51 AM

Impressive peppers everyone, I've only this past year started to have an interest in them. I saw a bunch of Black Pearls planted at the Missouri Botanical Gardens last fall and loved them. I planted some seeds this spring but sadly moved before they matured so I never got to see them. Thanks for posting all the pics, keep them coming and hopefully next year I'll have something to add as well.

The Hollyberry Lady · 09-09-2009, 08:11 AM

Do you still have seeds for the Black Pearl variety, R3tic? If not, I can mail ya some - I have lots.

: )

The Hollyberry Lady · 09-09-2009, 10:56 AM

Here is my Bay Laurel tree in the middle - along with my Fire Cracker hot pepper seedlings around it...

ClevelandCATHY · 09-09-2009, 12:03 PM

Someone gave me a pepper plant, that had tiny little peppers on it, about the size of the lead on a pencil. I was afraid to taste, but Randy did, and he said the heat exploded in his mouth. He couldn't even talk for a few minutes. Does anyone have an idea of what kind of pepper this could be? Maybe a birdshot? I don't have a picture of it. I let it dry out and killed it, but i dug around and found a pepper with some seeds. Just curious as to what kind it could be. Thought some of you experts could help me out.

The Hollyberry Lady · 09-09-2009, 12:19 PM

Without a picture it would just be a guess not an absolute. Grow it and post shots as it develops...

: )

Blake09 · 09-09-2009, 02:02 PM

Also pepper seeds are slow to germinate, it may take weeks so dont give up.

Yes pictures are a needed to ID things.

Bob · 09-09-2009, 02:20 PM

Nice laurel HBL! I killed mine in the spring thinking it was hardier than they are after putting it in the poly tunnel a bit too early.

The Hollyberry Lady · 09-09-2009, 02:21 PM

Yup some are slow but some can come up surprisingly fast. By the way, Blake - when I said...

I meant to say within 2 weeks!
