It also could be a Black Hungarian.

There doesn't seem to be enough variegation in the leaves for it to be Tri-fetti. What size are the pods, and what color are the flowers?

 

[thepodpiper]

I did not plant either the Hungarian Black or the Purple Tiger but I am not ruling out anything at this point. Here is a photo of the flowers.

Whatever it is...it looks eeevviiillll! Have you tasted any of the pods?

 

[thepodpiper]

No I have not tasted yet. How do you know when it is time to sample the goods? Or is it whenever one feels like it? Yes they do look rather intimidating. LOL

Sample when ripened. I have a feeling that they wll turn red when ripe, not yellow or orange.

Im thinking a black-pearl, cross with birdseye or Serrano

 

[Pam]

Ok, so it has lavender flowers, that should narrow down your choices. How many of the varieties that you planted have lavender flowers.

 

[thepodpiper]

I am not letting all of the varieties that i have planted keep thier blossoms so this is the only one right now that has this color. At this point i cannot even find another plant that looks similar to this one but it is very hard with as many as i have to look at. it may be a rogue seed that got mixed in with some others.

The stem, leaf, the purple color on the flower & of course the pod color all remind me of black pearl. If it takes a month or two for the pods to turn red, that would be a clincher I think.

How big are the pods?

I thought Black Pearl had upright pods in clusters? Like:

 

[Pam]

Ok, are you *sure* it's not a Black Hungarian?

 

[bentalphanerd]

I thought Black Pearl had upright pods in clusters?

I have a sick plant ...it only puts up 1 at a time..but I thought maybe thats where the cross came in, to give it pendulum variation, elongated pods.

I can't figure what size they are tho. Black pearl pods are tiny.

Could even be young chocolate habs...i've never seen them, but maybe?

 

[Shooty*]

That is one weird ass looking plant.

 

[thepodpiper]

Well I know that it has been awhile but i had my first ripe pod off of this plant it was vibrant red and hot, the heat crept up on me and lasted for about 5 mins. I would post a pic of the ripe pod but by the time I thought about taking one my mouth was already burning. LOL.
