This year I've planted my first three chilli plants. I'm new to the gardening thing, so for a starter I decided to buy plants instead of seeds. I have no idea how to grow something from seed. Anyway I went to flower power and 5 weeks ago and bought two plants, a birds eye, and a Habanero.
After about a 2 weeks I noticed that my Habanero was infact two plants. Was interesting trying to separate them, hoping not to damage them. The way I figure it, I got 2 for the price of one.
Both of the Hab's have been slow starters. I'm thinking they were too young when they were potted, the second one was quite small when I planted it. The first Hab has been attacked by some kind of insect. I think these plants are orange hab's. Odd thing is I thought hab's were a chinese but the card says their a capsicum annuum hybrid. Would I be right in thinking that the hybrid means I can't replant the seeds from these plants?
My Birds eye, well I think it's a birds eye, is doing great. The description on the card is red hot, capsium annuum cltvr. It has quite afew small white flowers on it.
I'm going to try link up some pics, this is my first attempt at this so hopefully it works ok.

Hab
I seen some different Habanero's at Bunnings the other day, think their chocolate, they had bigger leaves then my plants. Thought about buying one but decided I don't to end up with too many chillies. But after seeing how many plants some of you have I'm starting to think there maybe no such thing.![Dancingpepper :dance: :dance:](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/dancingpepper.gif)
