Bella

[mlh5953]

Grew this chili for the first time this year.
According to the gentleman I got the plant from, it's called “Bella”. He said that he originally got the seeds through the Seed Savers Exchange, and there wasn't much info on it. It somewhat resembles “Cascabella”, and appears to be a C. Annuum, starting out pale yellow then ripening to red. It has medium heat, a wee bit hotter than a Pablano, and has thick and tender flesh with a mild flavor. An excellent addition to fajitas.
Hopefully someone recognizes it and can share some more info.
Sorry in advance for the crappy cellphone photos.

its very similar to some Hungarian Paprika peppers.
it also looks like a pepper that comes from Lebanon/middle east
i have never heard of "Bella" before and it may be a "nursery name" and so may have multiple names and without knowing it true origin you might never know what it really is
nice looking pepper
 
 
thanks your friend Joe

Thanks for the replies.
 
AjiJoe - I thought they were reminiscent of Paprika peppers too.
