Hi.  My name is Sande and I'm new to this list.  I inherited a love of hot
foods from my mom although I think the rest of the family has always thought
us a little odd.  I now live in a 'mixed' household where I love the room
temperature cold and my food with a nice burn while my housemate likes the
room temp hot and the food about a 1 on the hotness scale.

Last year I found a hot pepper plant at an herb show which turned out to be
a real gem.  It was variegated with green leaves edged in cream and purple.
It had loads of small fruits which started out as lavender and then aged to
dark crimson.  It grew to be about 18" tall.  Unfortunately, I never knew
the name of this pepper and I haven't been able to find it again.

Does anyone know what variety this might be.  It is a wonderful plant both
for fruiting and just for the simple beauty of the plant.
