Welcome from Fort Worth, Texas, USA...I am very glad you are here...it's about time we had someone from India...are you from the Assam Province?

I am growing the Bhut Jolokia, Naga Morich, Dorset Naga, and Bih Jolokia this year.

This will be interesting to get a first hand point of view of these superhots...

Hi Wolves (your nickname is the opposite than mine ;))
I'm really interested to the story of Naga (or as we want to call them).
I've been in contact with Frontal Agritech since summer 2006 and "raja morcha" (or mircha, that is "King's pepper" or "King of peppers") was one of the name by which those superhot peppers were referred to from Leena Saikia.

It would be interesting if you can tell us more about this variety and if possibile publish some photoes of the "original ones" ... it's hard to believe that may be something even hotter than the various superhot we grew and ate in 2007 and this year too :cool:
Maybe you could also provide some seeds for next growing season ? I can offer you a wide choice of interesting seeds in exchange

Thanks
Bye
 
If they get any hotter, they'll melt the paint off my car. :)

Well, I managed to get my hands on some more of these jungle peppers. The locals call them Peteneros or Habanero Petenero, shockingly because they are raised in the Peten area of the country. This area might as well be another country because it is very hard to get there. You have to fly or strap yourself in for a 12 hour ride and some of them roads are not particularly fit for donkeys, let alone cars. Well anyways a friend there send me some pods, but they were green and my wife froze them for me till I returned from a business trip. Most pods have a little horn, but they are not that hot.

They look great, makes me even more happy to have some seeds!!! :)

Can't wait to grow some. Thanks for the pic and all your efforts!
 
Thanks to Andres and AJ. I have the seeds as well. Cannot wait to grow them. Is anyone already starting to grow them this season?
