Carp, last year I grew only Thai Dragons and Habenaros, I saved the seeds
from both to see what would come up for fun. The seeds from the habs look
just like a regular hab plant but the peppers are up to 4 and 5 inches long
and much bigger than normal habs, they look like big hot green
peppers. The Thai plants vary in height from short stubby plants to more
typical Thai looking plants. Most of the peppers are small to normal sized
and shaped like a typical Thai, but some of them are upwards to 4+ inches
long and much thicker than the typical Thai (though I am not calling them
Thais). The larger ones are not as hot but are very sweet when red. I
really just wanted to see if the Habs would cross with the Thais as some
people told me they would and some said they wouldnt.
