Hi all.  I'm looking for a source for chile piquin plants (or, if not
that, seeds).  The pepper I'm talking about is a small beastie that
grows wild in Texas, looks like a small berry, and is about the same
heat (or lack thereof) as tabasco peppers.

Does anyone have any suggestions?  Any idea how they'd grow in NW Florida
(coastal, or more to the point, just off the coast on an island)?

Along the same lines, a friend gave me some dried "Thai Piquins" ... a
pepper which I can't find any reference to anywhere (they look almost
like chile piquins).  Has anyone ever heard of this one?  I have more
"please ID this pepper" type questions, but until I can take some photos
and put them on my web page, there's no point in asking.....

Thanks,
