Anyone have any idea what kind of peppers i'm growing? I planted them from unlabed seed 2 months ago thinking i was planting habaneros but now 4 1/2 weeks into flowering that doesnt look to be true.

They are relatively mild, and are definitely good right off the plant. Or lightly grilled like Plantvision said.

I always have a few peppers in my outdoor garden. I'm thinking of trying Bhut Jolokia this year. Hottest
pepper in the world.

They look just like a banana pepper, i agree. but when i planted them i tasted the seed itself and it was very hot! Also the seed was cut out of pepper and stil attached to top, it was orange and looked nothing like the top of a banana pepper.

Some banana pepper can be pretty hot. They can change colors when they are ripe. Some peppers turn red, some orange. Some stay the same color.

This reminds me of a story. I raised Habeneros one year, I also had some really good cantaloupes.

It was a hot day and my brother and I stopped by the garden and grabbed a cantaloupe, it was so good we decided to have another.

But wait I told my brother, I have these flavor inhancing peppers, so I picked off a nice orange one and pretended to eat it.

My brother being gullable, took one and popped it in his mouth. I felt horrible, I thought he was going to die.

He ran around screaming and then proceeded to shove his face into a cantaloupe.

Like I said, I learned my lesson, because I felt so damn bad. That has been like 8 years ago.

I still have a big ziplock of dryed habeneros in the frezzer, just have no use for something that hot.

I like to use green habanero for flavor, it doesn't take much before it gets too hot.

That Bhut Jolokia is like 3-4 Xs hotter than the habanero. I probably wont even like something like that,
but I wont stop thinking about it until I grow it out and learn the hard way.

Where did you get your seed from, I should try some this year too.

It looks like banana pepper to me too. I actually have a banana pepper growing and the plants look very similar. Pickle them and throw them in a salad or on a sandwich, they are awesome!

After talking to my Dad i think i've figured out what i have. I got the seeds from him awhile back and after showing him a picture he said they looked like the "Hungarain Wax" peppers that he grew a few years ago.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungarian_wax_pepper

"It measures between 4"-6" inches in length and tapers from the top to a rounded point yielding an appearance similar to a banana pepper." -Wikipedia.org

Decided that after growing for 2 months thinking i was growing Habaneros i had to go get some plants. Picked up 6 plants at the store yesterday. Healthy looking, only about 2" tall but some already have 5-6 sets of leaves. Transplanted them into party cups when i got home and put them in my box with the other peppers. Only going to grow them inside for 2 weeks then they're going in the ground.

some pepper seeds do not grow exactly the kind that we plant.I think that's what happened here.the color will change when they ripe.
