Re: A thread for hot pepper-a-holics...
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~ Sue |

Re: A thread for hot pepper-a-holics...
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! : ) |

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?

Re: A thread for hot pepper-a-holics...
I believe they are in the Tabasco group.

Re: A thread for hot pepper-a-holics...
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.

Re: A thread for hot pepper-a-holics...
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.

Re: A thread for hot pepper-a-holics...
Without a picture it would just be a guess not an absolute. Grow it and post shots as it develops...

Re: A thread for hot pepper-a-holics...
Also pepper seeds are slow to germinate, it may take weeks so dont give up.
Yes pictures are a needed to ID things.

Re: A thread for hot pepper-a-holics...
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.
