Hey Miss Dewi,
Antohi Romanian is a Romanian heirloom, brought to the USA
by a Romanian acrobat named Ian Antohi. These are larger,
thick walled fruits, 4" by 2" wide or so, produced on lower
branching plants, like many of the Hungarian types.
Filius Blue has small 1" round fruits which grow in
abundance on compact plants, great for containers.
It is probably a cultivar ("cultivated variety") from the
USA, so many new ornamental varieties are being created
these days, and produced for the pot plant industry. Just a
guess on that tho...
Speaking of ornamentals, I'm trying to find the name of the
ornamental chile that looks like Fiesta / Fips / Medusa,
but has pods that start as PURPLE, then continue on to
buff, yellow, orange, and red. Anyone have one?
The Bowers Chile Fest was a great place to be this past
Saturday. 'Twas nice meeting, and * finally* meeting, and
revisiting friends, and chattin' chiles. Thanks to all of
you who stopped in just to say hi! We'll look forward to
seeing you there next year!!!!
