So a couple years back when I was working on a commercial grow for a greenhouse I spotted this guy when I was sorting through a few dozen of our Jalapenos in 512 cell trays. It wasn't likely to be a cross, as the seeds came from isolated seed stock from a company that only sells to nurseries. None of the other plants we had ended up looking like this. I was keeping a close eye on them. We didn't offer any variegated peppers there at the time, so I had a hunch it was something special. I took it home with me and tossed it in a SOLO cup.
Where I found him:
A bit later on that season I snapped a few more pics of the plant.
I waited for the pods to ripen and saved seeds, hoping for good things. They took a long time to ripen and were quite corked. Unfortunate that I didn't think to take better photos at the time:
Shortly afterwards I started some of those seeds and these guys turned up:
This is about as far as I managed with them, as I moved three hours away and started a new job. Many of my plants were severely neglected for a span of a few months and all but one of them kicked the bucket. I'm happy that I sent out seeds for these to several folks (who did have success with them!) and I am starting to grow some more thanks to Paul G and Chris Phillips.
That's where I am right now! Hopefully Canedog, Paul and Chris will chime in with their experience growing them.
Cheers.
