We were cutting up a variety of chillies ready for a sauce and came across this, is this a chilli growing inside a chilli .... and is that normal?! Or should we call Mulder and Scully?

happens to my purple beauty bells most often it seems
I've had it happen before but only on chocolate scorps for me. They're so big they often have a little chili growing inside the actual chili
Cheers guys, confused the heck out of me. Chilliception. Any records of a chilli growing inside a chilli ... inside a chilli?

it is not that uncommon at all...I thought it was strange when I first started growing but over the years, I have had hundreds of pods that have "small peppers" inside....
Just this afternoon I was cutting a 7 pot barrackpore open to save the seeds and it had a small pod that was light green
Inside it. Was gonna snap a picture but my hands had capcasin oil on them and did not want to touch nothing.

One word: pepperception...
ive been a chef for many many years and ive cut into hundreds of peppers of all sorts like this, mostly bells,like AJ said uncommon but not rare. Oh, and I like the gratuitous X- files reference!
