Orange pepper of some sort

kanikedude03 · Aug 7, 2019

So I bought this mystery mix from tradewinds: http://www.tradewindsfruit.com/capsicum-chinense-super-hot-pepper-mix-seeds

The odd thing is that these aren't that hot (at least the 2 I've picked thus far). I mean they have a little heat, but definitely are not on par with a typical habanero, so I'm rather clueless. Hoping someone can shed some light on this one. Also notice that the pheno types seem all over the place (some are more circular and others are longer).

Fruit per node? close-up of calyx?

I looked at the website you noted and they report peppers are: Trinidad Scorpion, Jolokia/Ghost Pepper Red, Chocolate Jolokia, Trinidad Douglah, 7-Pot Red, Peach Jolokia, Yellow Trinidad Scorpion. Doesn't look like any of those IMO.

I'll get some photos of calyx and flower tomorrow. I'll try to get the fruit per node as well. Thanks!

Here's close up of the calyx. Fruit per node is 2. I haven't seen any new flowers to take a picture of but I'm on the lookout. Sorry for the delayed reply. I intended on getting this info back to you more promptly. I also wanted to add that some of the more recent ones I've picked have some decent heat to them (something equivalent to a spicy jalapeno)

Please see pic below noting location of calyx and other pepper pod part locations.....

.Additionally, my pic below has two fruit per node circled and what a constriction looks like on the calyx arrowed. Are we matching up?

Attached are several close-ups of the calyx from different angles.

As far as fruits per node, it's really unclear to me. It's either 2 or 3. I tried my best to take some accurate photos. I'm certainly more than willing to take more. Sorry I'm such a noob at this but I will learn.

I took some pictures of the flower too (and this may also help with the fruit per node)

kanikedude03 · Aug 19, 2019

Actually, Looking at your quote from another thread, I think it's only one per node. I think from the pictures above someone will be able to confirm.

BTW, these ended up either being Orange Scotch Bonnets or Orange Blob peppers. As the season went on I was able to get more pods and compare with the site that I bought them from.
