Title: Any Chilli experts? - Identification ?
Post by: Sparkly on August 20, 2006, 20:00:21
I planted a number of chilli plants from a chilli/herb mix I was given as a present. This chilli/herb mix was bought in Italy and I put it straight in a jar - therefore I have no idea what the seeds are! The plants have grown pretty well. Does anyone have any idea what variety they are? The plants have grown about 1 metre high. The flowers seem to have very long stalks (which seems different to the other varieties of chillis I have grown). I planted the seeds in the end of feb and the fruits are at a max of 2 inches long currently. Many are still in flower stage. The photos are not brilliant but it would be interesting if anyone has any suggestions.

Could be any one of a hundred varieties I'm afraid

Here's a photo of mine, not sure if they're the same though.

They look a lot like my Thai Upright, except they are hanging instead.

No idea I am afraid, it is hard with chillies, especially long pointy ones.
