I think this was a "grab bag" seed from Peppermania. It keys out as _annuum_ (plain flowers, one pod per node, no pubescence to speak of), but I can't match it to anything in Beth's latest posted catalog. Pods are thin-walled and pretty hot for the species. They grow semi-upright, mostly, and get a lot of black variegation before ripening:
Here's a wider shot of the whole plant, showing some pods closer to the snub-nosed shape at which they mature. They're not especially big, perhaps a couple of inches at the most.
And here's the bright red to which they fully ripen. This pod is in its natural habitat, swimming in a molcajete full of nam prik along with a yellow scorpion:
Any ideas? The black markings on the unripe pods seem pretty distinctive, but my attempts to search have come up blank.
Thanks!
