Help ID-ing a hot pepper plant!

5 years ago

We were told that these were Carolina Reaper and Ghost Pepper plants, but they both seem to be the same and neither- so far the peppers on both plants are small and pale yellow and

smooth-skinned, and do NOT look like what I've seen online of either Carolina Reaper or Ghost Pepper. Someone told me they're "White Ghost Pepper"... Any of you know what they might be? They ARE breathtakingly hot- I cut one up and touched a tiny bit to my tongue for a nanosecond and had a chilihead revelation. LOL (On the "plate" photo they are on the right side).

I've never seen those peppers. I like the white/tan colour.

Do you know what pepper is above the long light green pepper? It's the group of 3 peppers. I have the same but I don't know what they are nor do I remember planting them. I like them cause they have a nice spice to them and are very very productive for me. 1 plant has give me about 100 peppers and there's more flowers and fruit on the plant.

The red ones are Peter Peppers- as they look like little peters. LOL I also love Monkey Butt Peppers! I get lots of amazing hot pepper plants every year from The Chile Woman in Indiana- she has literally hundreds of peppers from around the world! http://www.thechilewoman.com/

tfoster802002: That's it! Thank you. I'm adding a few pix of the top one with the purple flowers (plant is maybe 6" (15cm) tall, a 3rd pepper plant I haven't ID'ed. Also pix of dried pods which I think correspond to these 2 plants. Thanks for the help!

I like floral's IDs though 3 could either be tulip or lily of the valley, I think it's more likely an old tulip bulb. 4 might be a really early lupine, but I would like to see true leaves not just the cotyledons/seed leaves, so please repost when it has some true leaves.

The first one might be a Solomon's Seal plant unfolding it's leaves Polygonatum species. Looks like maybe something nipped off the original plant and it's growing a new shoot. The second one might be White Wood Aster, Eurybia divaricata; or maybe some other wild aster. Third one maybe a Black Cherry? Fourth one might be Tilia americana, as Floral_UK suggested. Makes me think a little bit of Hazelnut, too. I think the last one is probably an unfolding beech leaf. That's a lot of 'maybes' and 'I thinks' but it's a place to start.

The tiny creamy yellow ones look a great deal like one of the ornamental pepper plants. Several possibilities but they are the right size and shape for Christmas Pepper as they begin pale yellow and then turn red.

I think the photos online are photoshopped or the pepper is shaped to look like a ding-a-ling. I could understand maybe you find one pepper like that but all of them? Anyways, I don't know if what I have is Petter's Pepper but the majority of the peppers were shaped as pictured above.

I saved some seeds so I'll be growing them again this. Spicy, flavorful, and grows many many peppers. I'll probably cut back on the Scotch Bonnets because they produce late, and they don't stay fresh very long compared to other peppers. They rot easier than others.

I'll post photos once I start planting seeds... I already have 2 seedlings growing on the window sill of these peppers.

Yes, it is a specific variety of pepper. I grew it about ten years ago.
