My parents came back frim Guatemala yesterday & instead of getting names & pictures of pods & bringing back seeds, they brought back pods... and several of some of them. No names. Where they were, in the Highlands people speak a local Mayan language K'iche' primarily with some Spanish. My parents speak either.
As far as I can figure, I've got Caballo (yellow rocoto), Chiltepe, maybe Coban & the only one they were given a name for- Chile Verde, which may just be a generic name for any green pepper. Any ideas? Also have a non-pictueed shriveled red medium sized pepper... sort of like a Fresno or the like.
They were in plastic bags for a few days & are pretty putrid smelling. Wondering if I could get viable seeds from the green ones. Guessing no. Hold onto them until they turn red? Not positive all will turn red. They are eaten green, they said. Probably so though- like jalapenos.
Thanks.
Now that I look at them, maybe the one on the left is the same as the one on the right, just ripe.
