I am hoping to go, I have wanted to for years. I have no idea what to expect or what I might want. I don't think I have ever been to a plant show.

Where is it?

USF Botanical gardens. Google USF Fall Plant Show 2015

Did they have a booth where someone was selling hot pepper plants? I know the guy who used to do it got injured and can't do it any more.

I wasn't looking specifically for them....but I do remember some jalapeño peppers a vendor had. He may had other types of hotter peppers but I couldn't tell you.

I'm probably responding a bit late since it's over, but there were two vendors we saw/visited selling peppers today. One whom we've seen several times before at Leu Gardens in Orlando selling herbs and peppers (we've bought Super Chili from him before if that rings a bell) and another lady whom was selling Ghost peppers (we couldn't resist) and Scotch Bonnets along with herbs and vegetables.

Thanks for letting me know. I was mainly asking because I have been thinking about being a vendor at the two sales there. I was in charge of the palm and cycad booth there for almost 10 years, but I haven't sold there in probably another 8 years. Now, among others plants, I specialize in all the hottest peppers in the world, which many are much hotter than ghost peppers, and sell plants that are larger than most, where you can buy a plant with peppers on them, ready to eat. I was checking out if someone else along those lines was already there. In the past, if someone specialized in a certain type of plant, they wouldn't let another vendor in.

I went. Picked up a bismarck palm, a 'Jamaican Tall' coconut palm, an Alexander palm, and a lime tree. It's definitely an event I have on my calendar every spring and fall.

Plantsman: there certainly was a lack of exotic/interesting herb and vegetable varieties. My partner is always looking for hot pepper plants at these shows with little luck and I'm sure he is not alone. In addition to the ghost pepper, we purchased a blanket flower, tickseed and galangal. A successful day!
