annuum Purple Peruvian x Serrano accidental cross by bees

[withywindle72]

A friend grew Purple Peruvians and Serranos two years ago and the bees went to work and made a beautiful cross .. we both planted Serranos last year and the end result was a serrano with a purple stalk and leaves with pods about half the size of a Serrano and half purple and half green before turning red.  Seeds from last year have resulted in a purple and green striped stalk and growth is like a purple peruvian .. started this plant in an Aerogarden and can not wait to see what the pods will look like this year..

Really nice looking plant you have there.. Looking forward to seeing the resulting pods.. Are you saying this is an F2 plant ??

Thanks.. yea it is an F2.. I started what I thought was a Serrano last year and noticed the was some purple on the stem and the pods were half purple and half green before turning red. The pods were about half the size of a normal Serrano but had heat and fruitiness like a Purple Peruvian. This plant was started with seeds from last year and was really surprised to see the striped stem this year. Can't wait to see what the pods are going to do. May try to clone it since I started it on an Aerogarden
