Been listening about 'Purira' and 'Biker Billy' peppers. Would like to get
seeds for both. Anybody growing them and interested in swapping seeds. I
have some 15-20 varieties to swap.
Hi Randy,
Not sure if the spelling makes a difference but I'm growing Purrira's
from Pepper Joe. Beautiful plant, peppers growing upright above leaves,
already turned purple, about 30 to 50 peppers on each plant, conical
shape, inch and a half long, plant thirty inches tall and spreading wide
at the top, about eighteen inches in diameter. Suppliers description at:

Haven't tried one yet to let you know about heat. Reason is most posts
I've read say "Purira" pepper is hottest at last color stage/red.
As far as Biker Billy's Jalapeno goes, it is a hybrid. More info at:

In any case, I'd love to swap seeds with you, as long as it's before
Sept. 19...LOL. I just printed the regulation/notice provided by
Margaret Lauterbach & will read it more thoroughly later but it
seems it has to do more with importing from overseas than
interstate mailing.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Paul
