the whole plant:

And some of the peppers:

This is one of the ones I had moved up onto the porch because it was nearly bare a month ago. I didn't think it would make it. Now, it's got a whole bunch of flowers and several peppers. I'm thinking Habanero of some sort? Wish I knew.

Definitely look like some sort of Hab, I'd say let it get a little bigger?
Where did you get seeds & what did they tell you it was ?

Have to agree with PepperLover..bell peppers...i had a batch of seeds that turned into bells, although they were labelled something else.

MarkyD · Jun 3, 2011

dammit! Not superhots. A have a bunch of plants that I was told were superhots of various varieties. I guess half the fun is going to be figuring out what is actually what. Thanks for the replies...

suuucks.

it's all good. I have TONS of superhots, they're just barely starting to get little buds though. No fruiting on any of the ones I really want.

Fatali, Chocolate Bhut, white habanero...the rest are still focusing on building veg. The ones budding are the ones I started from seed in January, so they've had some time...

am I ever! I've never tried a fresh super-hot. I'm especially excited about the Fatalis.

OK, time for an update. Here's some new pics of the plant we're thinking are bells. I actually think they're mini-bells. Hart to tell yet.

This is the oldest pod. It's got what looks like maybe bacterial spotting, although I hope not. The dozens of other pods look fine.

The whole plant:

And now, a different unidentified plant. Any ideas?

And one more...I'm thinking this might be a Corno Di Toro sweet pepper:

Oh, and one of my Mucho Nacho Jalapeno pods:

It looks like you have super compact miniature versions of everything! :rofl:

that's what she said

MarkyD · Jun 28, 2011

OK, an update. So, I thought these were mini-bells. They look like it.
One that stayed SUPER tiny but was ripened RED fell off. I grabbed it and took a bite...

Um...is there such a thing as HOT bell peppers? The pods certain look bell-shaped, but woah! It just caught me off guard. It made my lips burn for several minutes. It was easily as hot or hotter than the Mucho Nacho jalapeno I picked yesterday. Is there anything else these could be?!

Also, what about this? It's been growing and growing but doesn't seem to be changing color at all. It's large. I can't wait to see what this ends up being:

MarkyD · Jun 29, 2011

any other thoughts on what the "spicy bell" could be? They were Pepper Joe "mini bell" seeds, I think. I forgot, because the damned birds stole most of my plastic plant tags.

MarkyD · Jun 29, 2011

I think I figured it out. The elongated one looks to be a Corno Di Toro. I did get some of those seeds from Pepper Joe...I think that's what this is:

Also, the "bells" could very well be cajun bell peppers. I had never heard of them. See here:
