I think you are right.  I have only tasted about 4 different sweet C Chinense peppers.  Some I tasted were floral.  Some were peppery tasting.  No heat.  No fruity flavor.  I am not so crazy about the floral flavored peppers but I would use them in the kitchen if I had them.  They are just easy...

Thanx Paul!  I have a feeling that making hot sauce out of pure Purple Thunder peppers would be a tad spicey for most of us.  Well, probably not for the members of this forum.  The hottest pepper I have ever tried is Yellow Scotch Bonnet peppers from Jamaica.  Those aren't super hots but they...

I looked at the foto.  The peppers do look a little similar but they are not the same pepper.  Thanx for viewing the foto's of it.  There are several variety's shown on that thread where the sweet pepper is.  They are all just called little sweet peppers where I live.  I believe there are many...

Thanx for the welcome.   Yes, I would like to get on that wish list.  Thats a really pretty new variety of pepper.   http://seedsavingnetwork.proboards.com/thread/287/tried-sweet-habeneros   Follow this link and you can see foto's of these sweet chinense peppers.  They are interesting.

Chombo is a loosely used name for a type of C Chinense pepper.  They are sold in the supermarket.  They come in Yellow or Red and are bonnet peppers.  It was explained to me that in the latino world, they are not too concerned about naming peppers.  The name Chombo supposedly means, Black man's...

Absolutely beautiful pepper.  I have a question.  I have experience with crossing okra.  I was advised that I should back cross the f1 which I did.  This was supposed to stablize the cross.  I did this and was very pleased with the result.  I have a brand new variety of tropical okra now.  Do...

Pretty much as a rule, if you order something from an over-seas vendor, they are not going to go out of their way to fix a problem if one occurs.  Their mind set is that you are trying to get over on them.  Only buy something from an over-seas vendor if it is the only way to obtain it and...

Thats a huge variety of hot peppers!  Very nice!   I just have a basic variety growing.  I am in the middle of the rainy season now which started in the beginning of May and will end in December.  We have a lot of over-cast conditions during this period.  Some years more than others.  This year...

The photo's above pretty much show what my wild peppers look like.  There are others that I have seen but the peppers are so tiny they would be too much trouble to work with with unless they were all you had.  I have seen video's of people putting the tiny green pepper balls on drying trays and...

I am late to reply to this topic and new to the forum.  I grow wild bird peppers myself.  I live in Panama and have a hard time finding seed so when I am on my walks I am always on the lookout for wild peppers.  I have seen quite a bit of heinz 57 peppers either just near a barbed wire fence or...

I appreciate the suggestion.  I am open to do some trading.  I have a very special okra variety called AfricanX okra that I personally developed.  I have never sold any seed but I do send seed out for free for folks to trial.  It grows very well in pots.  It is one of the most beautiful okra...

ShowMeDaSauce-One of the issues is also daylength.  We have a continous short daylength that doesn't really vary much since I am located so close to the equator.  We have a daylength is that is 11.5 to 12 hours each day.  Which is very short.  Some plants are daylength sensitive or Photoperiod...

Bicycle808-in regards to your comment about the seed company Cardi.  I have never done business with them.  However, as a rule, outside of the US, business is conducted differently.  They do not do refunds.  Sometimes they will give you store credit.  Also, the mail is not dependable.  It is...

ShowMeDaSauce-you are right, the growers in Panama don't make a big fuss about isolating plants as far as I can tell, with the exception of the sweet Chinense peppers.  I rarely see those here but I grabbed a few of the prettiest ripe examples a few months ago and planted some seed.  They would...

I am reading quite a few thumbs up opinion's on the yellow scotch bonnet.  What makes the yellow scotch bonnet so popular for cooking?   Where I live we have what they call a Chumbo.  We buy it in the super market and it is either red or yellow and looks just like a habenero or scotch bonnet. ...

Hello all.  Growing peppers is very interesting and fun.  I live in Panama.  We do not have access to the same seed sources you do.  So, I have to save seed.  This year I am growing some peppers that someone from the US sent me.  The basics.  Thai hots.  Cayennes.  Tobasco.  That kind of thing. ...

That sounds like a good hobby.   I live way out in the country side.  Food where I live lacks flavor.  Probably the most bland food I have ever tasted and I have traveled quite a bit.  I have to bring a bottle of hot sauce to a restaurant if I want to enjoy my food.  So, I am growing hot...

You have quite a varied variety of pepper plants.  I would love to see foto's.     I am retired and live in the Republic of Panama.  I am new to growing hot peppers.  We don't have much access to seed variety's like you do in Florida.  This year, someone sent me some seed as a trade for some...

Hi!  I am retired and live in Panama.  I have been growing peppers for the last several years and decided to join so I could learn more about it and maybe make some friends.  It is currently the rainy season in Panama and the weather has been extremely over-cast which has not been so great for...
