    perplexing habanero

    The "habanero" is fruiting like mad now but none of the new fruit have any stingers and look like distorted habaneros with rounded ends. A little disappointed with that haha. The tiny old fruit is now ripe I'll post photos when I can.

    perplexing habanero

    I got the seeds from seeds-for-africa so I don't know if they produce them themselves, if they do I'm sure that list will be pretty long.

    perplexing habanero

    they're still very green so I'll see once they've ripened, I'm trying to leave all the fruit on the bush for as long as possible in the hopes that seeds will actually develop.

    perplexing habanero

    the bush is starting to flower nicely again so I'll be watching what kind of fruit it decides to set now. Flowers have light greenish patches on the petals when previously they use to be completely white. If just scorpion pods or a mix of hab and scorpion pods i'll be stumped. I've heard of...

    perplexing habanero

    This plant has been the most healthy looking of all my plants this year. I'm not too displeased with no seeds cos if it refuses to produce seeds that makes it easier to prepare when cooking. All previous fruit have started out dark green, but these 2 'scorpions' are light green and almost an...

    perplexing habanero

    I bought a selection of seeds from a reputable local seed dealer in january and planted some "congo black chocolate habanero" seeds. The first season (started mid summer) produced 20+ bright red distinctively habanero shaped and flavored fruits, some disappointment that they weren't chocolate at...
