I have 2 going too, maybe a little bit bigger than those since I started seeds in Dec, potted next to Peter peppers for comparion. So far so good. Will take pictures as they get bigger.
I have one here also. Mine is still pretty small but putting on its second set of leaves. They were difficult to start. I started maybe 10 seeds. 3 germinated and two of those had terminal helmet head.
I read the original post on these and I am very happy to have one. Looks like a pretty nice pepper. I am wondering what kind of heat we are looking at with these.
Here is my picture of a Saint Peter. Id say it is a around 6" so far. The smaller one is behind it since it popped up later. Both are doing well so far.
The Red Peter on the left (not pictured here) is a little bit bigger. Leaves look the same. Seeds popped at the same time. St Peters are harder to germinate.

Yes Sir. Lots of flowers. Waiting on the pods any day now.
My other one is still small. I do not know what happened to that one. Its flowering and bushy. Hopefully it will still grow up with all this heat were having in CA.
Ron.

Ron, St. Peter was much bigger than the normal peters. (I mean the plant, o dirty-minded reader!) Perhaps your second one is reverting to its parent's form. It will be very interesting to see what pods the little one produces.
Thanks, all, for the update. Mama died when Alabama froze over so I do hope some of these come true. (I do still have a stock of seeds, though.)
St Peter. No pods yet but should be soon. I do have some Peters that have pods though. Mine is looking quite a bit different than the other one posted here. It will be interesting to see how it turns out.
Here is mine after it finishing ripening. It went from orange to red, but looks nothing like peppersgalore chili. Hoping to cut them open later tonight or tomorrow.
Here is a shot of the bigger one. The smell is quite different. It does not have the harsh intense heat smell. Tried a little bit. For the first half second there was no heat and then there was a pretty good sting on the side o the tongue and cheeks.
So here is mine cut. I had to cut it in a few spots to get it to open since it was curled. Only a few seeds but I will save them if you want or for anyone else that wants some. I have a few more pods that are ripening.
So it has intense smell of capsicum, taste wise- a little bit of a fruity taste but very very mild. Good heat hits quickly in the back of the throat, tongue and lips (no cheeks) and lasts for a good 10 minutes.
Overall, not a bad chili.

I just tried another piece. There is a hint of sweetness similar to a red bell pepper. I think the smaller one was more ripe and did have more sweetness so I'll have to leave them to ripen to a darker red. The heat seems to be somewhere slightly below a hab. It does have a pretty good lip burn as well.
Here is a shot of the plant from last week. Sorry its a cell phone photo. You can see several pods on it with a similar shape.
No flower smell on first opening? That's too bad. It was the trait that I hoped would propagate. The heat was never very high - somewhat consistent with peter: ballpark around 60k SHU.
Yes, please save the seeds. Even if you don't want to grow them I would like them back to continue the experiment in future years.
RonnyB's pods are very similar to the original, but they stayed more orange than red.
p_galore, that's a really good looking pod (my taste buds speaking).
Sure DM. Saving seeds for ya. Shoot me an email with your address and I will send them to you when I get enough. I don't plan to grow those again next year. Only have so much room to go around.
PG... I wouldn't mind getting seeds. Those are an interesting cross. You could call it a "Twisted Peter" or something to that affect. I will shoot you an email.
You can really see it trying to revert to Peter in this one. I waiting on an email if you guys want seeds. No germination yet, but I'm not worried yet. The original was pretty difficult to germinate.
DMF- I should be able to send you a few fresh ones if you would like. That way you can compare them to the originals and let us know how it compares. If you like it I could clone a few and over-winter them, or at least attempt it.
