I got a few little yellow Fataliis setting on a couple of my plants right now. They are early and most are off-pheno, but one looks like the correct shape/texture. Words cannot convey just how incredibly stoked I am.

Fataliis, buddy...they're just so good. One of my top favorites.

Devils tongue is my favorite pepper ive grown. Ive only grown red fatalis. They were too floral for me. Just thinking how much can we as growers or conditions effect floral flavor of our pods?
I hate floral!

100% me
Im wondering if im just more sensitive to it or something. Reason i say that. Some peppers ive grown ive thought were very high floral flavor. Then to see some post on here that they werent bad at all. The least bit floral flavor just overpowers all other flavors in a dish too me.
 
I voted Fatalii. Grew both in 2013. Flavor - they were very close and are both excellent! Heat - again very close but I found the Fatalii to be a bit hotter. Fatalii had larger pods with significantly less seeds than the Devils Tongue, which is why I prefer Fatalii over DT.

Red Fatalii is nothing like the yellow Fatalii. I didn't care much for the reds, but they were very hot, more so than the yellow.

what is the flavor difference between the 2?  I've had the red but am growing the yellow (that's the only color I could find seed for) and haven't tried them yet.
 
as far as floral goes, I'm not a big fan (i.e. rose, flowery stuff) but fruity is different than floral.
