| I am getting a really good harvest of C. chineses
hete are some photos https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151424660768066.581748.631 078065&type=1&l=56f5dc5588 I wanted to ID this one
Seeds were from peppers bought from ethic markets. I have 2 Manzano (C. pubescens) that are starting to produce peppers. Do they take a long time to ripen? Also I started some Fatalii and Wiri Wiri that I will start indoors. I have about 50 peppers from 2 Chinense plants.

| Regarding your ID question, it could be a Jamaican Chocolate Brown. It could also be Chocolate Habanero, Chocolate Scotch Bonnet or a 7 Pot Douglah. Hard to say from the picture. If you don't die or really really really want to die after tasting it, it's not a Douglah ;-) For reference, here's a shot of a Chocolate Scotch Bonnet I grew this year.

| Oh, a nice harvest BTW. You have a nice mix. Bill |

| Thanks Ottawapepper! I do not think it is a scotch bonnet as it does not have that mushroom / bonnet shape. It is similar to mine, so I guess it is a Jamaican Chocolate brown. Also has thick walls and I have seen SB that have thinner walls. Jamaican guy at Chile FIesta at Brooklyn Botanic Garden gave me a yellow Jamaican Scotch bonnet. It had the real squat shape. I used it for seeds. He said Scotch Bonnets are less hot than Caribbean Reds and have more flavor. He said Caribbean Reds are just HOT! I also got some Fatalii for seeds. They feel less hot than my reds and browns. |

| Hey Ottawa, what do you do, do you armor all those peppers before you photo them? Bruce |

| stefpix, I have had pods that were squat in shape, just not the one ripe enough when I too the photo. Bruce, yes, the pods do look a bit shiny and plastic ;-) I use a light box/tent to shoot pod photos. It has to do with the diffused light and the color balance my camera defaults to (I'm a lazy shooter most of the time so I don't adjust it). |
