Well here's what I know (and Jim correct me if I'm wrong).

The mutant jalapeno is a hybrid pepper also known as chilipeno.  It used to be available from
Shepherd's Garden Seeds which was owned by White Flower Farm until recently.  Sheperd's Garden
Seeds was bought back by Renee of Renee's Graden Seeds (http://www.reneesgarden.com).  I don't
see chilepeno offered there or Red Savina which was also available through Shepherd's Garden
Seeds.  So now I do not know of a source for chilepeno seeds, although I would like to find some
while there is still time to start seeds for '04.  I have noticed that Cross County Nurseries
(http://www.chileplants.com) has chilipeno plants.
