Publix Mystery Pepper

[angry tarpon]

Anyone have an idea of what this pepper is?

I bought some peppers from Publix awhile back and grew it from seeds. The pods were red in color an a tad bigger than what's in the picture. It had a good kick to it.

Thanks.

Dunno, but I used to live in your town! MCC right on! Miss the Publix subs too. Sorry to hijack, just don't see Bradenton too often.

Almost looks like a scotch bonnet... but I couldn't say for sure.

It looks like a Bishop's Crown or a Cambuci.

I don't think so, since Scotch Bonnets are C.Chinense, which have broad, crinkled leaves and a more bushy plant. That plant is tall and wiry, more along the lines of a C.Baccatum growthwise, not to mention the thinner leaves that have the "ruffled" edges like the Baccatums I've seen and grown.

Probably some sort of hybrid. It was from the grocery store after all.

I stand corrected. I was concentrating so much on the pepper, I neglected to look at everything else lol

Good eye. I am a novice at identifying peppers. Which is why I always post with a disclaimer. So much knowledge in this place!

Yup, still there. It's actually 10 minutes from the house, one exit over on I-75.
