Short answer, no.  Aji Amarillos are among my favorite chiles.  Good heat
and flavor, nice orange color, fleshy.   Elongate, about 12x3cm (5 x 1") or
so.  Some of mine have a triangular cross-section while others are circular.

I'm curious, not having grown aji limons (nor hot lemon).  There's a chile
called Aji Habanero.  Susan the ChileWoman sells seedlings.  Very good
fruity flavor, moderate heat, lemon yellow to light orange.  I'm told it's
very similar to aji limon.  Anyone know if it's   the same chile with a
different name or is it another kind?

Hot regards,

Riley, fascinated with the great Amerikan cover-up. . .
