Right on fellas ... I guess I was searching more for a speculatory guess on your behalf. Undeniably true that there are limitless possibilities as to what my "mystery plant" is! Of one thing I am almost certain though ... this is (likely) NOT a habanero.
I am glad for this ... up until a few days ago I had 76 plants of all different varieties flourishing in my garden ... someone came through and literally ripped them ALL out of the ground, roots and all! My tomatoes were destroyed as well. I am fortunate in that I had 6 plants potted up on the far side of my garage, and these were spared ... I lost all sorts of cool varieties: HP22b, Choc bhutla, naga morich, chaguanas yellow, JPGS, Scorp Butch-T, Superhot Beast, Jigsaw, Aji's of several varieties, NuMex Vaquero, ButchxJonah, Moruga Chocolate, ReaperxBlack Naga, Choc Borg 9, Bahamian Goat ... the list goes on and on and on. Seeds started in late January, growth charted and documented ... Literally hundreds of pods set and possibly in the thousands of blossoms waiting for their chance to fruit up. Heartbreaking for me!
I'm left with:
Bhut Jolokia
King Naga
Corno di Torro Giallo
Aji Cristal
Peppadew (or whatever the non trademarked variety is)
... and this "Habanero" mystery plant
