Nice!
It ain't happy. Most of the new growth on all 34 pepper plants looks similar, a few are ok, some aren't as bad, this is the worst. Straw mulch was a mistake and I've since thrown it over the edge of my deck in to the yard. I have enough to mulch them all 10 more times and throw it all away 10 more times. Not sure I'll use it again though, may just let them dry out, plus I'm sick of pulling germinated wheat shoots. I forget what this was. Biquinho "yellow" maybe, mild, I kinda don't care if they produce at all as I have no use for mild peppers (ordered Chiquinho, sold out, I let them substitute whatever they wanted, this sub made sense as it's the same pepper shape just pointless to ingest).
More to the story than just straw. I watered, then it rained a bunch, and has just been a garbage June in Denver, CO...13th rainiest in state recorded history, my fault, I decided to try growing peppers this year after doing nothing for 10+ years, I am cursed and Murphy loves to follow me around. I'm going to kill him when I find him. Slowly. And painfully.

although it doesn't have the flavor of chupetinho, also due to the lack of spiciness, I find that biquinho is still a good crunchy addition to salads
This shows the first 
little peppers that I started growing plus a new pepper, that is a first of it's kind.
It looks like
, because of neglect and hot humid weather.
Unknown specimen with almost undetectable heat.
Don't know what they're good for but I will try to grow more.

You're right, I will have uses for them! I was sleep deprived most of June (well, most of the last 10 years, but who's counting at this point lol) and extra stressed for various reasons, finally noticed I was reacting a bit extremely to many things heh. Admittedly of the 20 or so kinds I'm growing they're actually one of the ones I'm most curious about lol. I appreciate the suggestion!although it doesn't have the flavor of chupetinho, also due to the lack of spiciness, I find that biquinho is still a good crunchy addition to salads
My Yellow Scorpion. I think these may be 2nd and 3rd generation. The original mutation from a red cardi plant didn't make it. Her children seem to be doing fine and are stable. They're hotter than the red cardi. I've been eating both for a few weeks. They hurt me when I put them on one of my summer sandwiches.
Beauties!
