Hello All - my first post
 
I brought some pepper plants from a local garden centre.  I brought these because they were not every day singapore / thai chilli`s
 
I got a few plants.  Now fruiting the peppers look nice.  Can anyone tell what type of chilli this is?
 
I have put the pics on my drop box as i cant work out how to make an attachment with a basic account

The chilli`s are spiky and odd shapped.  They taste like scotch bonnets but stronger.  they are very hot.
 
On my one plant ( photo`s above ) my peppers turn from Green to red from the top down quite easily - they dont seem to go through a orange stage.
 
But on other plants the fruit are still spiky and a similar / same shape but go through a orange stage - infact I think they stay orange.  2 went kind of rotten waiting to change to red on the plant.

Can anyone tell me what these peppers are & if they think the orange ones are hybrids?
 
Thanks

The first pic maybe a Dorset Naga looks like to me, but others are more qualified to identify.  They are hot now, but its very early season.  If they are Naga they will be much hotter by mid summer. 
 
 
The second set of pics I have no idea. 
 
 
cheers

Thanks.

I don't think it will be a Dorset because this was purchased from a garden centre.

As for growing season - I'm on the equator in singapore so I'm hoping growing season is all year long :)

Well I have purchased Trinidad Scorpion and Red Bhut Jolokia's from my local Garden Center, so that doesnt mean anything.  There is a chance its a Dorset or it could very well be something else, as I said I am not the most experienced in identifying chilis as some people here. 
 
 
Every once in awhile you get lucky, fingers crossed you got a good chili!  :D

Ouchi, we have those sold by garden centres in Malaysia too. They are really bad with names, but some of them could be the superhot ones as I know some nursery growers here that do buy seeds from overseas and grow them to produce seeds and grow more of it for sale. Sadly they are bad in keeping the strain clean and end up getting some crossbred with C. fructescens etc. I even saw a nursery offering Blondie-like C. baccatum in KL.

thanks for the reply
 
i was told these chilli came from malaysia.
 
i got them from fast east flora - i think they have stores in malaysia & singapore.
 
I think the orange ones may be habanerro crosses, but they are still spikey  one plant seems more pure
 
do you know where i can buy superhots in malay?

Ic. Nurseries at Sg. buloh (Selangor) have many C. chinense plants. I was sold a 'Ghost' chilli at an agriculture fair two years ago so will be looking for it in the coming Floria event in Putrajaya.

hello! very fascinated to find this post! I'm from singapore too and i just went to Far East Flora the other day. I also saw the Bangladesh chilli that you mentioned and got fascinated because i thought it looked like a habanero. I did not purchase it though because i wanted to research on the type of chilli.
I did a google search and found that it could very well be a Dorset Naga because of the name. But when i looked at the images searched under Bangladesh Chilli, it showed longish shaped chilli which resembles the dried chilli we have locally. So I got confused.
However I am considering getting a pot after reading that it is a hot pepper. I also wanted to see if it will survive growing at my apartment because my own plants grown from seeds are not growing as quickly as i expect it to.
 
I hope to see your grow log or pictures of your plants, if possible especially since we are living in the same country.
 
THANKS!
