2011 harvest including the Moruga Scorpion (wow good year)

Trinidad Moruga Scorpion


Potentially hotter than a ghost pepper. I think these ones may be hotter than my ghosts but when pepper's are this hot it is hard to tell. Update: this is now considered the world's hottest.

-----------------------------

Yellow Bhut Jolokia 

I grew a few of these plants and got a ton of peppers. They seems on par for heat with the red Bhuts but I liked the flavor of the reds more. My yellows ripened faster than the reds which is useful in Colorado. Given I did not like they flavor as much, I think I will go with one plant next year.

Chocolate Bhut Jolokia


These peppers took the longest to ripen than any other peppers I grew this year. One plant froze with 3/4 still green. The peppers were yummy. They seemed hotter to the taste than the reds. Mine had a thinner wall than the typical red.

 -----------------------------

Yellow 7 pot


My yellow 7 pots were ripping hot and huge. Some of them looked like minnie lemons. The plant was also a good producer.

-----------------------------

Thai dragons (ornamental)

I have seen a number of plants advertised as "Thai dragons."  I grew these from seeds. The flavor was pretty neutral good if you just want to add heat to something.

-----------------------------

White Habanero 


Don't even remember where I got this plan that was labeled "white habanero." Flavor was unremarkable and output was very low. I think my plant may have been sick.
