Hangnail on peppers

[imaguitargod]

This is another phenomon that I see occasionally, but up til now, I haven't see it like this. It looks like a hangenail on peppers. I usually find it very small, but this isn't the case now:

Scotch Bonnet hangnail that is HUGE!

This Piquin hangnail started out like the usual ones I've seen but then got slightly larger and grew into the skin of the pepper. It looks like a hook.

At least you know in that bottom photo it's DEFINITELY a male pepper.

I had a couple cayennes that started like that but lost their attachments a few weeks in.

A bit like my greenhouse potman, he's a male too.
