Cachucha?

[Eephus Man]

Grown 'em? What can you tell me?

Seen 'em in a few grow lists, but can't find much anecdotal info 'round here. Might be a sign, but I dunno.

S'pose I should also ask...is this one?

can you take a pic of the leaves to
and also it should ripe that will help also

the taste will tell you too, its a bit milder than chinences that look like that

Arrrgh. Not in love with the new ID forum, THP. I really just wanted more info on the pepper, thus the title. I guess next time I'll refrain from posting a photo. Feels very unnatural and non-conversational to self-edit. First for me on these forums.

Blah.

Looks right to me. I'll know better in a few weeks, Eric, because I'm growing 7 Cachucha plants, seeds from Peppermania, right now. Quite the robust and vigorous plants, by the way.

Wow. 7! Very cool. Have you tasted them? I have never caught on with some of the perfume/seasoning types, but depending on which account I read, these may have a little heat? They are certainly very cool looking.

Beth's strain seems to be bumpier than some others, per comments here and my own searches. Interesting.

It makes me wonder if it is a different pepper entirely, or just a variation that Beth found, liked, and kept.

Gotta be Cachucha, yes?
