Referring to the photo I just uploaded to www.jstrack.org/photo/ ....
Does anyone know what type of pepper that is?  As I mentioned below
the photo (which is a link to the full-size image), I've been told
two names for it:  "Thai Piquin" and "Thai Hot" (neither of which I
can find any reference for online).  Heat level:  considerably hotter
than the "standard" Thai pepper or habanero.

One Thai lady I used to work with put it this way....  First, I pulled
out a bunch of regular (hot) Thai peppers.  She simply said, "They not
hot."  When I pulled out the peppers in the photo, she said, "They hot."

Second...if anyone does know what it is, do you know where (mostly FYI
for next year's pepper garden) I can get some?  Based on their complete
lack of any sprouts (where, when I planted them before all of the cancer
BS, they took off *VERY* quickly and with a very high survival rate), it
looks like mine are now too old to get any viable seeds.  :-(

Thanks,
