JohnT --
Glad the plants did well for you. The second picture looks like the fatallis I
grow. They are the hottest chile I've ever grown -- typically hotter than my
Red Savinas. The original seeds were from USDA.
Yes, they don't weigh much at all -- quite thin-skinned, but the flesh is firm.
I didn't smoke any last year (my first year growing them) but I did dry plenty
and grind them into powder -- holy smokes! Unbelievably hot....
Did the Mombasas ever germinate? The C. pubescens seeds you sent germinated
well, but very few pods....might just be too hot in Atlanta. I have a friend
here from Peru and he brought me some C. pubescens hot sauces (very thick, in
jars) back from his last visit -- one red, one yellow, and one green. I'll let
you know how they are.
