The Hater

The Hater

I'm a Habanero lover and I'm trying to compile a list for myself so I can buy the seeds. Im not sure of how many variations are around. Here are some that I know:
White
Chocolate
Orange
Red
Red Savina
Peach
Caribbean Red (is this another name for a Red?)
Tazmanian
Pumpkin
Mustard

Just add what you know of and if I have anything wrong let me know.
Thanks,
John

Habaneros are a distinct variety with specific shape, flavor, and are usually orange although you could probably argue that some reds are habs too. The other colors and types are hab-nots in my opinion. People like to call them habaneros intead of trying to explain to everyone what a chinense is. Hab is just easier to say but is not correct. Chinense, hab like or hab family is more correct

Taxi driver is a great flick. Just as much as the Evil Dead. Ash's fight with his own severed hand is classic scene.

Thanks for the link, should help to narrow the list. But like Potawie stated, flavor & shape is what I'm looking for.
Chocolates, Caribbean Reds and "plain" Habanero's all look and taste the same--well slightly different underlying flavor, but the same shape.

When I say "variety", I mean family. Example: If a Peach Hab has that distinct Habanero flavor & shape I would want it. I don't want a pepper simply named 'whatever Habanero'. Personal experience with a variety is a plus. I can eliminate varieties that don't fit the flavor and shape.

Chinese is a broad name that covers a number of non-hab peppers.

Thanks guys
 
From my experience chocolate "habs" are actually just brown/black congo peppers which are also very close or the same as "chocolate scotch bonnets"
Great peppers in my opinion but not really habs
