Yay Sheldon looks like your plants are producing pretty good for the size of them. That Red Scotch Bonnet looks BIG :)

I know! That Scotch Bonnet was insane. I still have hopes that all the plants will take off and produce. I'd say I have until the end of September or maybe the first week of October before I have to give up. The Bhuts are growing very slowly. If I get one Bhut pepper I'll consider it a victory. Thanks for the response, Novacastrian!
 
congrats on your first pods for the year...hope you have many more...it's gonna be a hot summer...
 
Sweet setup PCH. I love those white backgrounds for plants! Give those Bhuts time, they will take off soon. Pinch the early pods so they get big.
 
That "Red Savina" looks alot like a Caribbean Red. Light green pods, short flower stems, horizontal ish hanging pods and the leaves are dead on.
 
Nice pics give a time all those peppers going to ripe you some faster some later all depend on variety my friend.
 
Thanks everyone. It looks like it might be a good season after all.

I agree with you. I've been growing Caribbean Reds for years. This is my first year not growing them. My assumption is just that they are very similar peppers. In fact, I wonder if they are really one and the same. I've never seen them in the same room together...:rolleyes:

I have never grown a "Red Savina" before, and since seeds are hard to come by, being that they are illegal to sell, and that you have to trade for them, people could easily think they are growing a "Red Savina" when it could be a Caribbean Red or some other Red Habanero type.

It is to my understanding that the "Red Savina" was a mutent Orange Habanero that developed in a field of Orange Habaneros and that it has similar traits as an Orange Habanero like dark green pods and long droopy flower stems with slightly elongated leaves that are not as ovate as the Caribbean Red for example.

But for all I know thats wrong, but I would not be suprised if most of the people out there who think they are growing a Red Savina are in fact growing something else. It's not like somebody would bite into a Caribbean Red thinking it was a Red Savina and be unimpressed with the heat, from what I have heard the Caribbean Red has been measured at times to be hotter than the Red Savina when growing side by side.

It would be interesting to see a real, certified "Red Savina" compared with a Caribbean Red, detail by detail.
 
I have some updated pictures...eight to be exact. In fact, I have over 300 peppers at this point with flowers all over my plants. I have a Cveta with about 65 pods on it and my 2 scotch bonnet plants have 32 and 33 pods! Unprecedented numbers in my experience. I also have a Jalapeno/Habanero F3 with a half dozen 3 inch pods...like a jalapeno but ribbed. I forgot to take a picture of them.

Here's a Mustard Habanero:
