And... ding ding ding ding!
The winner is Mike (capsidadburn)!
Pm me your addy!
The bonnets on the right, 7s on the left.
This all started after reading Jeff H's post
http://thehotpepper.com/topic/41504-labeled-as-yellow-7s/#entry876744
He also got yel 7s that looked bonnet like. Mine has looked like a hybrid between the the two since first pod. And all the other plant from the same seed look the same (minus the one that went red). Nothing like my yel 7s from last season, from a previous years seed pack also from judy. Not faulting anyone. No one can control nature
& they still taste awesome just like last years. Environmental? All this rain? Who knows. Next year i will start seeds from both packs to compare as i still have seeds.
The only bad part so far with the shape is i have accidental grabbed a yel 7, thinking it was a bonnet and bit into it like an apple and got a hot surprise! The yel 7 are way hotter than the bonnets!
There are some pod that are almost identical. And as i was hoping, there were guesses going both ways.
Thanks for playing along everyone!

You were actually correct, after the correction, but Mike slid in and got it first!

I say left bonnets, right 7's..but missed being first if correct...
Almost for you too Scott. They look identical, so it really is just guessing. Play again next time my friend!

Nice, left Bonnets, right 7's.
Your not 7's look like Naga Morich (Indian)?
Had it backwards Lourens!
I would have had to change the prize had you won!
btw... Any seeds you are after that i may help you with? I would to get a few king nagas in exchange!
Those not yel 7s are huge! Bigger than any morich i have seen. They definitely don't have that typical 7 shape, or bonnet shape in this case, as the other plant from the seeds. My naga morichs aren't are definitely different, and i started them way later, so could be a cross or mix up on the venders part. Haven't tryed one yet, but wondering what the flavor will tell.

Well GA thats a hard one to tell... They both look the same. I would have to say the Right ones are the 7's and left are Scotch Bons...
You also had it backwards my friend. Calling it almost. You nailed the fact that it's a hard one to separate! I truly can't tell them apart visual. Thanks for playing along!
Also i will add tonight ...
Today's pepper of the day.
bbg7 #1
I let this pod sit too long on the plant. It was starting to get a bit soft after a day sitting inside, so it was taken to work for peppertime today. I have been letting the bbg7s sit to see how red they get and to make sure i get some mature seeds.
I also wanted to cut one open to see the stem split, like denniz showed. It was definitely red inside.
This pod had a really good taste. No bitterness at all. Very fruity. A bit of that 7 pot taste. I think it tasted better than the first pod i had!
The heat is up there! Starts off sweet and fruity and within a few seconds you feel the heat. Then by a minute or so the heat turns up more than a couple notches letting you onow that you just made the mistake of eating this thing. I ate a fairly large piece with some placenta, it had my tongue on fire, and stinging burning pain under my tongue on both sides. Deep down where you can almost feel it behind/below chin. Tears formed in my eyes from the under tongue burn at first when it attacked. It really came on for about five minutes, making me struggle to maintain, then plateaued out and then my lips started to burn. They picked up heat and i realized i must have had hot saliva (thanks Matt for forever planting that in my mind, but prefectly the truth!) and must have licked my lips. And as the lip burn swells, the false plateau is revealed, as the heat resurges up and down, finally heading down shaply by ten minutes or so, only leaving me with a nice warm feeling & lip burn for the next twenty or thirty minutes. Water only increasing the effects on the lips till they were put out by some sour gummy worms!
Also ate a Not yel CARDI scorps. It was very lemony yel hab like tasting. Quite sweet. Super fragrant with that strong chinense smell. A very nice pod. Heat was a bit hotter than a yel hab, but still low enough i could enjoy with my lunch. I ate a big chunk with the placenta up top, and it really got me hiccupping, but heat was still just above medium. Yum yummy. Really citrus lemony flavor!
