Mystery Pepper

I got an assortment of HOT peppers. So I have this little guy and dont know what variety he is. The fruit is about 1 1/2" long. Can anyone tell? Or is it to early to tell?

It's too early to tell. The peppers might get bigger and also it'd be good to know what color it'll ripen to. I'd say it's an anuum, maybe a Bird's Eye or sth similiar, given that the pods won't grow too much anymore.

Here she is all grown up and red. Shes about 4 or 5" long. Any ideas??

I have a Jalapeno Jumbo ripening that looks very similar.

Wrennie · Sep 12, 2008

Oooh that is similar. I'll have to ask if they had any of them in their mix.

That is a heck of a pretty pepper, whatever it is! Small and pointing upwards...really nice. Is it hot?

I'm sure its hot Prairiechilihead. Haven't tried it yet. The people I got the seed from, on another hot pepper forum, said;

well (scratches head)
Wrennie...that don't look like anything we raised at all...So...
Since it is a mirasol type...I'd say some hanky panky went on between a mirasol_japone and one of Laura's Red Hot cherry, which also grows towards the sun...
muddying up da thang is...it resembles...a jalapeno...
guess yer just gonna have to BITE it
save the seed, and call it a Wrennie pepper

Wrennie got the seed mix from us but we didnt have any Jalapenos of any kind in the mix we sent out. These plants werent isolated and there were several varieties growing together.
