C'mon. It's obviously a Martian plant. Nothing on Earth is that color.

Let us know how hot it is, please.

Its the "purple people eater" pepper. It eats you from the inside.

I cant tell what it is yet. Seems like a baby though.

It's just a little guy right now. Here is another picture

The initial pod-shape is awfully long for a Moruga scorpion.
We'll have to see how it develops, and how the other pods look.

You will have to take a foto in normal light.

Oops it didn't work the second time. Here

O! It looks so vicious already, Waiting to sting with that sharp tip. hehe
The plant looks very vigorous and healthy. Seem its got lots of food.

Would anybody agree that this looks like a small bhut Jolokia? I got the seeds out of a moruga scorpion can. The cans you grow peppers out of.

Hi MorugaMan,

Is that the only pod that looks like that? If so, it could be a weird one off pod variation. If other pods look similar, it could be a young Bhut pod. That pepper in a can vendor was hawking Ghost Peppers in a can a while back.

It doesn't look like the standard Moruga growth progression based on my experience growing them.

Here's a shot of unripe pods on one I grew a few years ago. Older pod in foreground and younger one in the background.

Here's a crop of the, somewhat out of focus, younger pod. If your plant is a Moruga it should be putting out new pods similar to this:

The Moruga I grew (from Bill's seed) were the same.

Yeah I think the people that sell the peppers in a can got the seeds mixed up because the only seeds I have grown this winter were from the Moruga Scorpion can, and the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion seeds out of a moruga pod I bought at the store. Here is my moruga pepper. Not the one from the can
