Hi everybody,

for the past few years, I have had 5 plants on my window sill, 
whose packet was labelled "Super Habaneros" (250,000 Scovilles; 
I am not sure if that is even the name of a variety, they looked like 
scotch bonnets, lanternshape). These have now, it seems, come to 
the end of their career; even with tomato fertilizer.

I am planning to start with a more ehm controlled approach to Chili 
growing this spring, so if you had to select 5 varieties that give me 
a good idea of the chili spectrum, while maybe having a strange 
shape (like those caterpillar ones I saw once on a web site), and 
being fairly reliable to grow in non-Mexican climates (ie Ireland), 
which ones would you recommend?
I am sure there are some nice seed sellers in the US who have 
special kinda starter packs. I'd appreciate your advice.

Thanks in advance,
Klaus
