Are these chillie peppers?

could be some type of ornamental chili pepper.

I just went outside and checked all my peppers, we grow a lot of peppers here in TX, and the picture you have looks just like my Mucho Nacho Jalapeño plant. My peppers have turned black and red because of all the heat this year but they do start growing up and then fall and continue to grow upside down. The leaves, flower and stalk are all identical to my plants. Are the peppers relatively young?

Mario,

Hard to tell from your photo, how many peppers per node? (looks like 2-3 on some nodes, but I'm not sure, could be the angle of the photo)
How long are the peppers - about 1/2"?

Adam, they range from 1/4" to just under 5/8" so far. I see up to 8 buds and a "pepper" per node. I just looked up node so I'm not 100% sure though. That's how many are stemming off in a general area.

Thank you for all of the responses everyone.

We would like to see a youtube video of you eating your first one... or atleast a picture.

I sliced up some habaneros out of the garden today and put them on my sandwiches for lunch. They get me all choked up, everytime.

Ya, maybe I can chase it with a Gorilla Finger.

I'll try and either find or shoot some photos later to give you an idea what I mean.

Chances are, it's in or related to the general birds eye family somewhere, but the sunburn (the black marking) of the pod is a bit odd. A lot of the birds eyes and most of the thai peppers (about 4" long, very thin peppers) don't typically sunburn.

Remember, if this just started growing on it's own, it's from a seed that was left in the garden, probably from dropped fruit that was grown the year prior, which in turn might have been sown from peppers grown the year prior. Under these home grown condtions, each of these generations is going to reduce the probability of a genetically pure seed.

Try one when it's green, is it hot or just sour and icky vegiteal tasting?

BTW, the lack of heat up here this year so far has been keeping the pepper heat levels way down.


-------- Addendum

I see Kelly ID'd it while I was writing off and on while working. Thanks. That's one I haven't grown before.



-------- Addendum #2

Mario, I'll trade you some cigars (or Mexican Coke) for a bag of plant ripened peppers.

Yes, those are chili peppers. I have a very similar plant in my backyard that is now about 7' tall. Those pppers will start out black, turn green, and then mature to red. They are definetly hot. My wife is Thai and they are hotter than any Thai peppers according to her. She uses them for cooking and it dosent take many to bring the heat on.
