I'm already starting the seedlings and decided I might get a few more new varieties for this season. So I'm willing to trade with somebody not that far away, so it doesn't take long. I'm based in Eastern Europe - Moldova.   I'm looking for: - Tabasco, the original - Cabai Burung Ungu - other...

I'm interested, but the question is if you mail to Europe?

  As others had mention already it cannot be true. I've heard of this misconception, we even had a thread about it here, but it's not proven yet. Although there are some thoughts on the peppers placenta getting the heat or even the roots interconnecting. Anyway that is not the case for sure as I...

Last season I got all my peppers really hot, even the ones with low heat or no heat turned out quite pungent. I cannot define the exact increase in heat levels, but my Bishops Hat were not mild as usual, but really hot, Marbles which had no heat - had some good pungency too. I'm not sure what...

I've started with ornamentals and have tried over 20 varieties so far. They're all edible, but also look good. Mostly its just the heat, but there are some with nice flavor and just two I can recall that tasted bad.

Brilliant name for a pepper though :)

I've tried some annuum leaves before, wasn't impressed with them, though the younger - the better. I'll have to give it a second try for other varieties I'm growing this year.

Doesn't look like pepper to me.

I've read a dozen of news articles about this new Dragons Breath pepper, and most of the titles present it as a deadly pepper that can cause anaphylactic shock. So my question is anyone ever heard of deadly cases caused by eating Carolina Reaper? If so, whats the difference in terms of...

Still couldn't find any info on that "Moldavian Pepper" and I came to the conclusion it was simply misspelled, my guess it's the "Maldivian Pepper".

Great crop and I'm simply amazed by the number of varieties you were growing. I found one in your list I'm curious about, what is the "Moldavian Heart" like, got any pics of it? I googled it but could not find much information on it, except for this list and a cross mention. Or where did you get...

Maybe that's the Mouruglah F2 they've got listed on the website (Trinidad Moruga Scorpion x Naglah).

Yes, that's what I've seen as well, but definitely not purple.   Exactly, the PC-1 doesn't grow in bunches like the one's I've got, but the pods look similar. Yes, I was trusting it's some other type of Naga Jolokia maybe, after all Jolokia simply means pepper and Naga comes from the Naga...

I was given a few seedlings labeled "Naga Jolokia" that came from a reputable seed bank, and judging by the name I assumed it's of the same family if not the same with "Bhut Jolokia", "Bih jolokia" as some say it's the same pepper variety that is named different. But now that I see the fruits...

Thank you all for the replies, now if I answer my own questions:   1. There are certain varieties which are indeed protected either by individual or company, usually for a term of 20-25 years and they go public after that term. In US it's Plant Variety Protection (PVPO) that can be checked...
