I am looking for a pepper that looks like a rose for a elderly friend of mine. Thats all I know about it. I found a picture when googling, but there is no name no way to id it. Anyone know what it is? She called it a "rosette pepper" and I googled that and nothing appropriate came up. I am hoping to find seeds to buy. Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks for reading!

Uba Tuba pepper

Click on no it's not a flower. Hope this is what she was looking for. Some may have seeds. I don't have any of these sorry.

Here is a link that might be useful: Uba Tuba

My first thought is in line with habjolokia and nc-cr.

If it is the one she's referencing, my notes (which I think are from Wikipedia) indicate this variety has many names: Christmas Bell, Uba Tuba, Balloon, Pimenta Cambuci, Campane, Cambuci, Nepalese bell, Aji Flor, Orchid, Bishops Crown and Bishops Hat to name a few. Unusual pod shaped variety believed to have been transferred from South America to Europe by the Portuguese in the 18th century.

Yup, this was my first thought as well.

NMSU Chile Pepper Institute sells the seeds.
