They are fabulous!

Mind you, I wouldn't be within a million miles of them, never mind having them so close to my face.  It was bad enough when I cut open a cayenne!

I love growing chillies, but not eating them.

Here we go Saddad

The Naga Jolokia (English: King Cobra Chili) — also known as Bhut Jolokia, Ghost Chili, Ghost Pepper, Naga Morich — is a chili pepper. In 2007, it was confirmed by Guinness World Records to be the hottest chili in the world, replacing the Red Savina. It is a naturally occurring inter-specific hybrid originating in the Assam region of northeastern India.[1][2] It also grows in the Indian states of Nagaland and Manipur. Disagreement has arisen on whether it is a Capsicum frutescens or a Capsicum chinense. Some claim it is a C. frutescens,[3] but recent DNA tests have found that it is an interspecies hybrid, mostly C. chinense with some C. frutescens genes.[4]

Tell me about it! All I did last night was de stalk the lot of them, I never even got close to inside! I was coughing and spluttering for 30 mins! I wiped my nose and oooooh the pain!
When I make the sauces out of these I'm wearing goggles and gloves!

Sow in January as long as you can keep your seedlings snug, and keep potting on.

I've got naga jolokia but they're not the same as those, there seems to be a lot of confusion with the names. These are mine so far, apparently the black colour's "suntan" ;D


This was a couple of weeks ago so have plenty more now!
I also have bih jolokia and bhut jolokia growing, they're just flowering at the moment but my orange and mustard habs have started to form some pods now!!!  ;D

Bring on the pain!!!  ;)
