suggestions for purple leaf plants

Hey ya'll
 
I'm just looking for some suggestions for pepper plants with broad purple leaves. I have seen some really  nice crosses in the GLOG's this year (does not need to be a cross, commercially available is just fine).
 
The peppers don't have to be hot, but they do have to taste good. The main purpose is ornamental, but I need to be able to eat and enjoy them.
 
 
Please post a picture if you are able to.
 
 
PS: I'm looking for suggestions on plants which I can buy the seeds online, but if anyone has a desire to trade, please PM me. I have seeds readily available from Trinidad Moruga Scorpion F2's, Black Cobra Thai F2's, and a variety of jalapenos (mild to hot, small to large).
 
If you have a website that you have ordered them from, please include it.

at work atm, but grew out a couple "black thai tq" from thsc that are extremely dark, almost black. home in appx 7 hours, will try to get a pic then if sunlight cooperates :D
 
The varieties I have grown with some individuals displaying purple foliage include:
 
In past years:
black pearl
purple jalapeno (this year my purple jalapeno plants are not as purple as last season (different vendor too ;-/  )
pink tiger
 
This season (all three from mojopeppers):
chocolate nagabrain 
orangegum tiger mamp 
Pink Tiger x Bubblegum 7 pot (bleeding calyx) 
 
Thanks guys!
 
Are those black peppers or black leaves? Just checking cause I tried googling for pics and they all look green leafed with black peppers.
 
 
I have Black Cobra Thai peppers (aka Goats weed) and they are super black, the peppers that is. I'm on the lookout for a beautiful purple pepper plant :)
 
Thanks again, guys!
 
 
 
 
EDIT: Never mind, I saw the pics in one of the GLOGs and it has black leaves. I will look into that one!

Good suggestions, Thank you!!
 
I especially like jalapenos. So, a purple version would be perfect for me. Which vendor had the better purple phenos? If you don't mind me asking...

Just found a 'purple' tiger from THSC
 
(tried to link the pic, doesn't link)
 
It has purple variegated leaves, but also has a kind of 'dirty' look to it. I want something that is more pleasing to look at. Though odd is fun too.
 
 
 
Any purple leafed chinense varieties that come to mind? (looking for that fat leaf)
 
This year I ordered the purple jalapenos from refining fire, but last year I ordered them from territorial seed co... but they were delayed in their shipment because they were waiting on a "source"... so who knows... 
 
@ Noah Yates - Good to know, thanks Noah!
 
 
 
EVERYONE: one more question/search to add...
 
Anyone know of any great smokey flavored varieties? Looking for something that is mild-med heat that can be dried and snacked on that tastes great. I only added this question because there are a ton of smokey flavored peppers out there, but not sure which ones would taste good dried. Can hold back on the heat because I want to eat them like chips :)
 
Aji Panca is one possibility as an example: http://thehippyseedcompany.com/product/aji-panca/
 
(this is outside of the purple leaf request)

THANKS MAN!!
 
I really appreciate the pics!
 
 
I was looking at the Black Scorpion Tongue too (as I was picking through some sites).
 
I like the color of the Thai TQ, but the structure of the Scorpion Tongue looks right up my alley!
 
You are a good man, thanks again!

pretty sweet lookin plants. in my glog pics i just posted, there is a bigger more mature thsc scorp tongue, im sure you can pick it out of the lineup heh.

purple tiger's pretty, too. i didnt get any started in time for this year, but will drop some seeds in a couple months to have them under hps through the cold months and ready for next spring!!
 
Heck yeah! Thanks again for everything @cubbieblue82 !
 
@Joynershotpeppers I actually went with THSC because I wanted a pack of fish peppers as well as a good purple plant. I really debated the Thai Black TQ also, but I have a really good Thai variety already. Though, next year I may end up trying it out anyways :)
 
 
Thanks again all!
 
And if anyone has any other suggestions, please let me know! I can always make more orders, LOL... Over the years, the pepper (seed) fever never goes away!

Tonight took too long. Order made.

Understood, thank you for lookin out! My black cobra peppers do that too. They stay black for a LONG time and then finally ripen red.
