My Chillis and Capsicums so far

The Chillis
This is a picture of all the ripe/ almost ripe ones so far. there are many many more to come, and this is just a starter. I will name them from left to right, then go down a row and name them left to right.

1. Bullhorn Capsicum I bought from Woolworths the other day.
2. Cayenne, not the best looking ones, no were near as good as last years - plant has a disease
3. Mini Chocolate Capsicum, the plant I bought from a Bunnings
4. Sweet Yellow Capsicum - The one without the green stem bit and the top cut off. very sickly looking plant because of disease
5. Caysan - The really long cayenne looking one, from a plant I bought from Bunnings
6. Mini Yellow Capsicum - from a plants I bought from Bunnings
7. Ball Chilli - bought it from Woolworths and hoped it could ripen some more
8. Purple Beauty Capsicum - From a plant I bought from Bunnings
9. Jalapeno - Had this plant for a while, they are starting to go rotten though
10. Black Prince - The one all by itself - bought the plant from Bunnings and the plant has a disease
11. Mini Jalapeno cross Purple Super Hot - bottom left corner. Had this plant for a while and the chillis themselves are starting to dry out though
12. Red Fire - This are from plants from the aerogarden chilli kit. Very similar to birdseyes.
13. Diablo - This is the big green one with a ting of red on it. Bought this from Bunnings aswell.
14. Lastly, the Birdseyes - probably the hottest ripe one I've had yet,

Cross section 2
Now this one I picked this morning to have a taste. Personally I thought it may turn red but once I looked though the list of the couple it could be I saw it was probably a Burkina Yellow Scotch Bonnet. I am posting it up just to make sure it is though. Below is a picture of another larger one on the plant.

Other Chilli on the plant
And this one is my other ripening chilli which I am unsure what type it is. Once again I looked through the list of what and I think it may be the Trinidad Scorpion Cardi Yellow. I just want to see what you all think.
 
Very nice selection NCG. Great looking stash. Congrats

That's quite a list you have there. Good luck. :eek:
Thank-you, and thats just some of the ripe ones. I have about 60 plants at the moment with about 40 with pods on them. I know thats not alot compared to most of the people here buts its good enough for me in a small house and only being 15.

Thanks-you and yes that is a nice stash of chillis. I reckon there maybe about 80 chillis on both of those plants, and many other plants are doing the same
 
very nice, NCG.

So out of curiosity, is "Capsicum" Australian for A) any Capsicum species/strain, including hot and sweet, or B) a term that only applies to the sweet ones (and "Chilli" is what you use for the hot types)?

Enlighten the Seppo crowd, please.

Capsicums are anything sweet and Chillis are anything with heat, even though they are of the species "Capsicum"
