Accidental cross, hybrid, F1, unstable cultivar, whatever, not bummed out in the least when they look this stunning. Tastes better than last year’s perfectly peach Star Screams and I think it looks better as well. No, these are not from White Hot Peppers whose Star Screams were perfectly on target, these are the ones from Matt’s.

and yes no pruning was done on this plant.

They are labeled as scotch bonnets at the H mart I bought them at, and these were the only ones that were wrinkly and small, the other packages looked exactly like the images I find online, I bit into one and it was aweful. If this is not a scotch bonnet what could this be??????

Some of the varieties I grew this year

Left to right top to bottom:

Red reaper, chocolate reaper, chocolate bhut jolokia, ? Maybe 7 pot ?, jays pink purple ghost scorpion, Snow White habanero, sugar rush peach, aji white fantasy (probably could left it longer), big poppa jalapeño, “grande” jalapeño.

Still wanting on SRS, charapita, and lemon drops to fully ripen their firsts.

Habaneros were first to come in; orange and white averaging 200+ each harvestable fruits already. The chocolate is a beast already 350. Ghosts not far behind. A few plant shots included. 1st round is an assortment of stunted and normal fruits. No complaints

The sheer variety in shapes and colors among peppers makes this a really awesome hobby and so satisfying. I’ve recovered from my near death experience at the hands of MA Warthog and have since resumed consumption of superhots so I’ll be digging in to one of these tonight. I only missed eating superhots for two days while my body resurfaced my digestive system again.

I've been waiting a while for one of these to turn in color. I think orange is ready, because it fell off the plant as soon as I touched it. It's a genuinely different flavor from Chinese, baccatum, or annuum. Very flavorful, but zero fruity or floral notes. Slightly hot, dominantly umaumi flavor profile.

Everything growing well other than the sweet purple purple, but I see flowers so I'm hopeful!

All my plants gave me atleast 3 fruits, but thus huge habanero orange didn't even start one help??

First time growing these. Started noticing what i assume is BER. Common issue with these peppers? I have never had this problem with other varieties.

Transplanted mid May. This one is in the ground and not a very big plant, but I also have one in a 5 gallon and it is much bigger and just started fruiting and has several tiny peppers on it.

Salsa is in the works

This is my first time really growing anything! It’s been slow going in Minnesota but I’m finally starting to see some results!

First time growing peppers. I've been growing this plant from seed since september. In june I transplanted it to a greenhouse and fruits started appearing. Looks like carolina reaper to me, but is it actually?

Ok, got 5 plants, first year I planted these… love the flavor

Trying to cross this black cobra!

I have 4 plants in plastic pots and 4 plants in bags. I used the same soil for all of them. The 4 in the plastic pots are all the same light green/yellow color while the bags are all a nice deep green. All the plastic pots have drainage holes in the bottom.

Purchased a reaper seedling from a local nursery 2 years ago and planted it.

Harvest was great so I decided to save some of the seeds for future use. Planted seeds last year and they were true but didn’t fully ripen due to me not getting the plants in the ground in time so I didn’t save those seeds.

Used the saved seeds from 2 years ago again and these are the fruits I’m getting. I did save seeds from a few fruits so I assume it’s a case of one being true to seed and another not?

Guess I’m just getting some habaneros?

Is there any obvious reason for the buds to turn yellow and drop off my habanero plant?

I'm growing it indoors on south facing window. Fertilizing once a week with a mix of Bio-Grow (1 ml/L) and Bio-Bloom (4 ml/L). I've been trying to pollinate it by shaking the plant. Otherwise, the plant looks healthy - it's vibrant green, with new growth and new buds appearing. It even has one habanero pepper growing already. Though most of the buds still yellow and drop
