Hi John,
It looks like a mutation and in my opinion it's always interesting to see
what comes out of it.
On the other hand you can't be sure if it is a mutation between any other
pepper, at the moment I have also one plant who shows a kind of mutation.
For the third season I grow Cambucy (got my first seed from Chuck) and saved
seed each year.
Each year it was standing beside a bell pepper plant (paprika) and now I
have on one plant more a less bell shaped fruits. The Cambucy is a mild one
and maybe it will now have it combined with a paprika taste so I'ts
interesting to follow.
What I can recommend is to let your weird one full grow, save the seeds and
plant it out next year to see if it has mutated it can also be a joke of
nature.
A mutation never shows up on a plan grown from pure seeds, you can/will only
notice the difference when you grow plants from saved seeds from plants who
were crossed the year before. (pls correct me if I wrong)
When my web site is ready I will put some pictures from my plant on it too.
Hot regards
Rob
