Pam said:Hi 2fly, and welcome to the group!
What color do they ripen to? And can you take a picture of the flower so we can id the species? How hot is it?
cheezydemon said:I bet they are a cross of some large cayenne type and a habanero. The wrinkling and asymetrical appearance look like a hab cross to me. And if I am correct, tabasco should put just about any large pod like that to shame. So there must be a flame thrower like a hab or scotch bonnet somewhere in the recent family tree.
Pam said:Ok, my bad. I should have specified that we need to see the front of the flower to get clues about the species.
And I hate you, because you have rain. We're more than 12 inches behind on rain so far this year.
And I know that's not as bad as Australia or Alabama, but it's my drought and I want to agonize over it. So there.
2fly said:Sorry I'm not too sharp on this stuff.
We're way behind as well.I'm just a couple hours away from you in the Hendersonville NC area.
Pam said:Neither was I when I started posting here. This crew is good at teaching you what to look for, though, so you can figure out species and varieties on your own.
Ok, well, then I won't hate you as much. All we got last night was a heavy fog, just enough to wet the grass so Zoe the cat could have cold, wet feet when she walked across my bare leg at 2 am.
2fly said:Youh ave a dog named Zoe? I just put my best old backpacking/mtnbiking/flyfishing buddy down after 15 years..........her name was Zoe.
Pam said:Oh, I'm so sorry! {{{hugs}}} That's always so very hard. It's not fair that their lives are so short. What kind of dog was she?
My Zoe is a cat, though, who came to live with me last year when Gracie, who was 16, died. The Puppies O'Thunder are Matilda and Abigail. Of course, they're not puppies anymore, either. Matilda is 10 and Abigail is 11.
How did that happen so fast?

I have my next victim sitting next to me, a bull terrier named Sara.
