I travelled to Colombia 2 years ago where I had the chance to stay in a small village in the Andes. During a hike in the jungle, the locals showed us these plants of wild peppers growing undisturbed. Very small pods that are wicked hot! We picked a few, dried them and ground them as a spice mix. This year I kind of realised that this spice mix contained a bunch of seeds and I decided to sow them and see what would happen. Few months later and the wild colombian jungle is happily growing in my canadian backyard!

My dad goes to countless nurseries all over Florida. A grower had some peppers and gave him a “scotch bonnet” plant. As soon as I saw the first fruits I immediately knew… now I understand this grower is probably not someone who has a deep understanding of peppers but why is everyone including those in commercial nurseries getting scammed by the wrong pepper seeds?

Bought seeds labeled“Trinidad scorpion X Carolina reaper” on eBay. Do they look legitimate?

Got these as "Red Scotch Bonnet" labeled seedlings from vendor at farmers market..have I been "shroomed" as well?

Purple peach ghost, as it matures its looking nothing like the rest. Purple to green to red… started looking like a ghost but now displays a bulbous shape. It’s on the radar now

I’m thinking I should pick these before they hit the soil. The one is about 2” from the ground. Would they be too under ripe? Or should I let it ride? First time pepper grower so I’m a little unsure.

Think it’s safe to say not mushrooms, but are they scotch bonnets?

Bought as a Chocolate Scotch Bonnet from the plant school. Is this a fluke?
First pepper project from my balcony in Copenhagen.

After 2 years of trying I finally have Reapers!

Hello pepper lovers please help me identify this pepper. Thank you in advance.

I tried growing jalapeños from seeds for the first time this season. I made a lot of mistakes but still managed to get some peppers. They’re all these short stumpy things tho 😐

I came to this subreddit a while back looking for advice on growing my peppers and now I have fruits of my labor. My first attempt at hot sauce went great. Wanted to share my achievement.

Grown from a wee sprout in early May. Chances of seizure from neighbourhood chipmunks thieves almost guaranteed.

This is my Biquinho pepper plant, that I grow indoors under grow lights. Some lower leaves fully turned yellow and fell out within the past week. I get conflicting diagnosis from different online articles. Could someone help me figure out what the issue is.

Doubling in size every day just about.

Bought this as a Chef Jeff's labelled seedling at a local nursery. Allegedly chiltepin. They ... don't look quite right. 😅 Anyone might know what these could be instead? They are quite spicy.. rather tangy.

So in the last few months I really loved eating peppers and I was mainly eating jalapeño and Serrano. And the other day when I was walking in Walmart I found that they do have orange habanero peppers. So my question is should I try eating habanero pepper or not ?. Also if I ate will it be much pain for someone who eats it for the first time and will the pain stay for hours or will it go after 30 min or so. Also should I eat it the whole pepper in the same day as small pieces or not?

Thanks

Is this consistent with a Trinidad pimento pepper or did I get bamboozled?
