hi I bought 2 of these chillis at the start of lockdown they have both produced loveLy large red chillis about 4” long, they say they are hot but I need about 3-4 for a good curry or chilli con carne.
They have both started producing little white flowers, just wondering if this would help any of our resident chilli experts identify them.
Coffee keeps me busy until it’s acceptable to drink whiskey.

They could be anything but it looks a little like a Hungarian wax?
Not confident....just a guess.
SP will be along soon.

Like scarlet said could be anything! Definitely a capsicum Annuum. Some cayenne type thing. Probably a hybrid of some sort.
The seller’s would probably shout about the fact if it was a known variety.

SP will be along soon. Hungarian hot wax is an interesting call as I received one from Joy at Sea Spring Plants

we will see when the new plants eventually start producing fruit.

we will see when the new plants eventually start producing fruit. Like I said cayenne type (which in my tiny little mind means a generic red pointy pod of a reasonable size ). There’s a very high chance it’s going to be nothing like the joes long. For a start it definitely isn’t long enough.
