color striped peppers

Hey folks, I hope that you're all enjoying the holidays. Long time member and grower but no messages for a while... but I got something interesting for you.
 
I started with Joe E Parker and Chinese 5 colour. Got the F1 hybrid easily, then from there it has been hand pollination with pollen the same plant. I grew out about a hundred F2 plants last season and only one was interesting, so I grew out about 80 F3 plants this season from this one F2 plant. None had the characteristics that I was looking for  :( (big, multicoloured Anaheim peppers) but I got an interesting and unexpected feature in one plant: purple stripey blotches on red/orange peppers! Check them out:
 

 
It got me thinking about striped peppers. The only others that I know of are:
 
1. Fish pepper (annuum, green stripes on white when immature)
2. Purple tiger/tricolour variegata (annuum, kinda weakly defined lighter purple stripes on darker ones)
3. The legendary pink tiger (chinense mainly, purple on white, not yet stabilised?)
4. Flame/Enjoya (annuum, a new bell pepper from UK, red stripes on yellow)
 
As you can see, my peppers start off violet, pass through a phase with purple stripes on red/orange peppers, then end up orange/red. You can't see the stripes during the violet phase. All the peppers on the plant have this trait. The stripy blotches on my peppers look more like those on the pink tiger. Fish/purple tiger/flame have a different type of striping to my eye. 
 
Does anyone know of other striped peppers to add to this list?
 
neat cross  :cool:
I have grown Chinese 5 color, and I too like the stripey blotchy phase it goes through during ripening
here is my terrible example pics;

a couple others from this years grow that i can remember going through  stripe/blotchy phase during ripening are;
 
CGN-21500 x 7 pot Barrackpore  both the red and the peach pheno that i grew had stripes/splotches after finishing the purple phase and before completely ripe 
 
i take terrible pictures, but at least it's something for a visual example;

Bellingrath Gardens also has stripes/splotches through a couple different color phases of ripening 
 
examples, again not great pics, but i still try;   :)

i have grown several of the Mojo tiger peppers as well, and though i got some great peppers on dark plants, mine were not striped 
 
 
i'd love to grow that striped Joe E Parker x Chinese 5 color, i'd be happy to trade some seeds with ya ;)
:cheers:

What is the flavor and heat profile on that cross ?
 
Hi SR, flavour is OK, typical annuum, some sweetness but not too much. No bitterness. It's on the hotter end of the spectrum for annuums, but not in the same league as chinenses. Very few seeds:
 

 
Sorry about the quality of this photo. The white background doesn't do justice to the striping. As you can see, the colour doesn't show through to the interior. 
 
Nice looking peppers GIP and Sirex and thanks for the links, Jase. Most of these have a gradual change in shading between the two (or more) colours. Mine seems to have sharper boundaries, more like those of THSC black scorpion tongue and THSC chenzo chilli (both black on red) and the unstable pink tiger (purple on white). Are there any other peppers out there with sharp boundaries between two (or more) colours?
 
I'm gonna hand pollinate this guy and grow out F4. If this trait comes through with F4 peppers, then GIP, you're at the top of the list for seeds!
 
I also have about 20 F2 Bahamian Goat x Choc Bhut growing this season. Most have pods and are showing interesting variations. I'll post once they're ripe, in a week or two.
 
Late reply, but I seem to remember a pepper called the Uchu Cream from Japan that definitely had variegated foliage, although I cannot recall for sure if the peppers themselves were striped...  :think:
