Mystery chillies - Small chilli - 20-06-2020
One mystery I believe is solved. I’m 99% Sure My accidental overwintered chilli is sugar rush peach.

The other 3 are still a mystery.
The 2 big ones, I found as seedlings in the compost I saved from last years chilli pots.
So they will definitely be offspring of a named variety I grew last year. Don’t know if they’ll come true Or be crossed.
Probably crossed.
The little one I found coming up in the raised bed in the first tunnel. Last year had my mystery chillies (never did identify any of them) in there. I only kept it because it had purple seed leaves.
Only time will tell if any of them will be any good.

RE: Mystery chillies - Vinny - 28-06-2020
I have a mystery chilli plant. I have grown six habanero plants and six plants from a mixed packet of chilli seeds. There was no mention of what the chilli varieties they were on the packet?
I am having problems loading photos (my phone, not the sites fault) but have a chilli with upward facing yellow chillies about 100mm long.I also have what looks like a Halapeno and the others haven't set fruit yet.
Any ideas folks?

None at all without photos.
I’d especially like to see the upward facing 10cm pods. That sounds very interesting.

Mystery chillies are growing nicely. All I can say for sure is the are all different.

My mystery chillies now look like this.

One of them I’m 99% sure is a Hungarian black ( which is very good)
The variegated one is definitely a cross, very deformed pods coming on it.
The other one (photo) is also a cross. It’s producing well. And it’s going from green/black fading to brown. I’m guessing they’ll go red but none have yet.
