Hi Naganero, I grew them last year. Its more common name here in the UK is Balloon although Ive also seen it called Pimenta Cambuci, Campane, Peri Peri, Ubatuba Cambuci, Aji Flor, Orchid and Bishops Hat...

Hello everyone, I flash some pictures of this up in another thread and though I would tap into everyones expertise. Has anyone ever grown an annuum variety like this before? The seed was labelled as Bolivian Rainbow which it clearly isnt. Its a nice plant though (approx 2ft tall) with very...

I think the plant is too big for a Purrira. Heres a few more pictures which might help to solve the mystery: Mark

Hi Guys, Ive finally got round to doing some 'chile growing' stuff today and as well as taking loads of pictures Ive finally updated my growing blog. Amongst my latest rants is a little more information on 'Government & research peppers' http://thechileman.blogspot.com/ Hope your all well...

Hi Tina, I don't think you have to subscribe do you? Julian Livsey (my partner in crime on the chileman site) set it up for me as Its easier to update. Im new to this 'blog' lark and I admit its not a very good one as I don't have the time to update it regularly (daily/weekly) to keep it...

Feast your eyes on these little beauties. In fact their so big, Ive had to move them outside the chilehouse as the inside was begining to resemble the Amazon Rainforest. Im sure I saw a howler monkey swing from my Manzano plant the other day 😉 4 1/2 foot High Manzano 5 1/2 foot High Tepin...

The Dorset Naga , Naga Morich (Moresh or Morrich) and Bih Jolokia are VERY VERY SIMILAR. The confusion at the moment is the former seems to mature to red, the later two dark orange. It terms of pod shape, wall thickness, calyx length, plant size and heat etc etc their is little (if anything) to...

Heres a picture of one of my Whippets Tail Plants taken today: and a closer look at an immature pod Potawie........the competition is hotting up!!! Mark

Hi Guys, The hot weather in Darlington (UK) has certainilty been bringing my plants on a treat in the last few weeks. Ive just updated thechileman blog (2006 journal) to document this seasons progress. Amongst the latest entries are: 1. Lots of pics of this seasons first pods 2. The Magical...

Willard, Im always impressed that you have managed to maintain a Chile plant for nine years. Can anyone else beat that? mark

Hi Potawie, A 28cm Whippets Tail already!!! - Im glad the contest is running till the end of October to give us all a chance to catch up!!. Your monster is top of the pile so far: http://www.thechileman.org/whippet_challenge.php That Chinese Five Color Plant is absolutely beautiful and also...

When you said on another forum that it looks like a Vultures face it got me thinking. Cross Country Nurseries (a very reputatble plant supplier) have a variety called ‘Monkey Face’. http://www.thechileman.org/results.php?chile=1&find=monkey&heat=Any&origin=Any&genus=Any They look pretty...

Hello Guy, How are you doing? I notice that Reimers (avoid like the plague) are calling their Habanero Vultures Beak. Sounds rather similar to Habanero Condors Beak which I know you have grown in the past - don’t you think...

Hi Potawie, When I saw your images it thought of a variety called Ivorian Pimente (Ricardino from the Virtual Pepper forum is grows it) Its definitely not a Habanero Cappucino or a Golden Habanero...

I grew this last year purely for the novelty factor. Im not wasting my time and space on it this year Mark

Excellent pictures Chuk. Its certainily gives us all something to aim for. Have you ever eaten Bolivian Rainbow pods in there immature purple stage? Personally I think they taste much sweeter and you can make some very interestingly coloured curries with them. mark

Hi Guys, here a picture of some of my Naga plants. These are around 6 inchs high after 60 or so days and are one of the slowest growing varieties I have come across. Even my Capsicum Galapogense is groiwng at a faster rate!! Mark
