Anyone know what this is?

[Pam]

pam - it seems like you're the one thats a little distraught here about that thread(topic), not me. I'm not offended by it (since I knew they were joking) BUT non the less I know in other places of the world people eat dog, I accept the fact that they do, but you dont want to accept this fact of life.

May I politely suggest you familiarize yourself with the term "straw man".

I stand by my offer to discuss your objections to my personal choices elseweb if you can do so in a less accusatory manner.

I think that's probably the same as the Thai Dragon mentioned by Texas Blues, thanks for looking around for me Pam..Oh & thanks for the warning..but it didn't help, I got trapped for a while and found the Thai Yellow on that database..Pod looks right but leaves aren't that big

Yeah, there are so similar varieties and even some that have simply been renamed, it's hard to figure out what you have sometimes. The first time I ordered from Cross Country I ordered a Pimiento De Chiero pepper. It's one of my favorites now, and in looking for a good source of seeds, I found that there are more than one pepper with that name. Then, in emailing with The Chile Woman, she informed me that almost every region of South America as a chili called Pimiento De Chiero and that she had at least 6 varieties. Too, I remember reading somewhere that the Cross Country version has another name, but I can't remember what it was.

PM me your address if you can give some seeds a good home

I thank you for the offer, but I've already got more than I can say grace over. I was in the front yard this morning figuring if I could run a row of Almapaprika peppers along the front of a flower bed so I could squeeze in a few more plants. They're such fabulouse grilling peppers!

IGG - harsh ! wow I never knew I was being harsh, I could of said it way different if I wanted to be harsh, FYI I never typed it to be harsh if you took it that way.
I'm just so curious why she finds those pics so harsh about how other people live, I mean since working where she does I would of thought shes seen worse, I know I've seen way worse than that 1st hand.

pam - why do you keep saying I'm accusing you of something right from the start ? which I've never did.wouldnt I need to put "you're a ..." or something to that point of wording for me to be accusing you of something.
just simple questions on why you find the pics so offensive & I only brought your job into the picture because I kinda find it ironic. FYI I have no problem with animal testing.

oh thats so nice of you to start with the name calling right away, & implying that I'm stupid when I havent even stooped to that level of being childish & start with name calling. all this over some simple questions I'd hate to see what you'd say to someone you dont know that says "hi" to you on the street

I'll just dismiss this as your time of the month, & I'll remember not to ask you questions next time around the end of the month

Ok kiddies - I think it's all been said & we can all read (somewhat) - how about we get back to the friendly banter of chatting nicely about chilies

Enough dude, let's get back to chilies!

A straw man isn't an insult, it's a logical fallacy.

I've been meaning to ask, is ther some way to killfile a thread here? Every time I see that title I cringe.

You can ignore the user with the ignore button and you won't see his/her posts.

 

[The Hot Pepper]

Back to the topic at hand please!

Yeah,I saw that, which is why I asked about killfiling a thread. I'd have to hit ignore for everyone posting in that thread,though, and that would make The Hot Pepper a rather sad place. It's my squick and I'll just have to deal with it.

I thought Thai chiles grow upward instead of hanging down ? at least thats what happened for the couple versions I had.

I also think someone should take Pams thesaurus away

**Seriously thinking about trashing this thread unless the mud slinging BS stops NOW **

Yes most Thai peppers point up , but also quite small, the leaves on this plant look the same as other Thai peppers I'm growing, although the plant shape is more like a wind broken umbrella with a main stem up to 2/3 height & then 3 strong branches come out forming a triangle of leaves with the branch ends slightly higher than the main stem.

All the flowers & pods (green & ripe) are pendulum. So the pods drip down under the canopy. The distance from corner to corner on the triangle is as high as the plant (about 1 M). Sort of like this, but green & less funny.

It looks amazing. Im hoping it will bonsai as easy as the habs so I can put a 'pet' in my office. Have 20 seedlings that are also established enough now to plant out - fingers crossed they get through winter & level 5 water restrictions o.k. Keeping a few indoors just in case

More trivia - all the pods seem to have exactly 25 seeds in them... like you needed to hear that
