Does seem to be another Karneval.

Since I started getting into chillies, my father in law has shown to have insane tolerance of chillies. I would go to chilli market and pick out the most destructive thing I could find and each time he would eat it without a care. Anyways, a few months ago he visited the family of his other son...

  Yes, there were no flowers on it and I don't expect any any time soon.    I think an interesting factor is that all the fruits grow upwards but I am not sure of the importance of this in identification.   I had to look up the technical terms you mentioned but hopefully these pictures will...

Heya all. Thanks for the add to this forum. I bought this plant 2 days ago in Brazil. It had no label and was in a supermarket. I cut a few peppers open yesterday to add to a dish I was cooking. Immediately just on cutting them I started to choke on the fumes as my throat closed up. These were...
