chinense I'm confused about the Datil pepper

Look at what came today. I think Datils from 3 different sources will be enough for now. Will be interesting to compare them side by side but only one will make the growlist for next year. I’ll pick my favorite at the end of the season.

Thanks for this thread! I got free datil seeds from Baker Creek. I decided to plant some of those as well as some of the seeds I've been saving from a lineage of datil peppers I bought last visit to St. Aug (used to live there many moons ago - my profile pic is from a datil pepper in that first year of harvest). The pic on the datil packet from BC is the same as the one you have, and that looks like real datils to me, but the other pics look nothing like datils! I hope they at least taste decent because I mostly planted them since my other datil seeds were old - failed to successfully get isolated peppers last year. At least now I'm ready to be disappointed. :)

Gimme my real datils with the lovely purple stripes <3
