All this discussion over records and scoville scores is silly. All you have to do is read the label on the plant before you rush to buy it and it will tell you.
This was taken in the large nursery stall at the Fremantle Chilli Festival today. Out of all the places to sell chilli plants you'd think they'd know better
I also want to rant that I hate nurseries that grow chilli plants and make them fruit when they are tiny and in miniture pots, then sell them at the end of the growing season. Knowing the plant is very unlikely to produce any good sized fruit before it gets cold and needs to be overwintered, which the average person won't do.
The guy who last year told me that his sauce, made with "red savinas - the hottest chilli in the world", is now saying that it was once the hottest chilli. I guess enough people contradicted him that he had to change his tune.
I should mention that Heatseeker/Wildfire Chilli was selling some good sized mature plants, and despite having invested a lot of effort in producing Butch T chilli products as the hottest chilli in the world didn't try to ignore the recent news about the Moruga, as some I saw did, but instead had a placard detailing the moruga. A chilli vendor for chilli heads.

), and it's going to be too damn hot tomorrow.
.. I just went straight to the wildfire/heatseeker stall, they know their stuff. Ended up buying a few plants: Jonah 7 Pot, Bhut Jolokia and a Butch T. Mad chilli head but my first time growing so until i do some more research of growing from seeds i'm gonna stick to these and see how they go. Wish me luck!
