ID Help..!! From the Hot Pepper Massive.

Brewster · Feb 7, 2020

Hey Spicy People,

i got a mystery bag of seeds last year.... 90% of the time i can figure them out....
But i got a plant that's stumped me. At 1st i thought it was a lemon drop, it turns out not to be.

flower & fruit start out facing downwards, where lemon drop start upwards then move to the downward position .

i may be wrong... so any clues you can provide i would be most grateful.

Cheers
BB

I know im probably wrong, but looks like a pepperoncini... That calyx should tell a story.

I have a guess but would like better pix.Are there multiple flowers per node?

To fix that sideways issue, it is the stored EXIF Data that causes this.

Even if you don't have an iPhone (And this article talks about email orientation.), this is helpful, Why iPhone pictures flip when emailed, and how to fix it

If you edit the pic before uploading it will upload correctly. Editing it "saves" the orientation instead of using native, which would be the way you held the phone. Really it is uploading correctly, but other sites like FB have better software that read the orientation EXIF.

This seems possible to me, too.

There are definitely similarities and it could be. The leaves of yours have a particular look to them, though, that seems different. Might get some more clues once the pods ripen. Hopefully they taste great, whatever they are!

They look like C. Annuum; not C. Chinense?

The plant has narrow leaves=C. Annuum

Hey Chilli People ....

a update... turns out ..not to be a Devils Rib...
looks like its a "Datil pepper"

the blurb & photos match pretty close..

Datil plants require sunshine and should be watered regularly. It takes 5 months for the plant to reach maturity. The plants bloom as green peppers but eventually turn orange-yellow when they mature. The longer you leave the peppers the hotter they become.

You can pick datil peppers when they are green. You can also wait for them to ripen further on the plant. They turn orange-yellow when they are ripe. You may notice purple spots on the green peppers. This is normal for these peppers.
The yellow peppers are hotter than the green ones. Thus you can pick the green ones if you can’t cope with the ripe yellow ones.

cheers
