What kind of soil you using?

fyi I have no idea what kind of pepper it is post a picture after it fruits

The soil is 5-1-1 mix. 5 parts sifted pine bark, 1 part Perlite and 1 part soil.
Yah, the way my season has gone, the darn thing will never fruit. Actually, this one plant has grown better than most of my other seedlings. I do hope it flowers and fruits soon. I am anxious to see how it looks if it is truly a Blue Mystery.

I cannot confirm it but you can compare with my plant to see the differences. I got some free seeds from www.peperlover.com and I have grown it.

Caelian how old is that pepper? So we can compare to Bruce's

Mark

Mark, my seedling is about 5/6 months old.

The characteristic of the plants, such as the stem and leaves are a bit different to compare to my seedlings. If it is belonged to the same variety there will be some similarities, I think. The difference I found to see the picture is the stem. His BM's stem looks thick. The leaves are curled so I cannot say the similarity. Probably the different age may looks different even a same variety of plants. I am not sure, just I am guessing.

I have a couple of seedlings without name tags. I forgot to put it back when I repotted. So I compared with my other seedlings and guessed it should be Scorpion or Ghost because I see the similarities, the leaves and the stem. Until it yields fruits I cannot confirm it.

Here is an updated photo of my Blue Mystery. It does seem to have different shaped leaves than the photo by Chilliwin, however, its overall shape seems pretty similar. My plant has just branched for the first time and is growing tall like Chilliwins.

Just found this old thread. I decided to update it. It was indeed a Blue Mystery.

This is just before I pulled it for the season. The third seem of the garage door is 64" from the pavement.

can we get a closeup pic of the pods? also, any commentary on flavor or heat?

Judo: I am sorry, I didn't do a very good job of taking pictures of this plant. However, I have cropped out part of a picture that shows the pods pretty good. The pods are not very big but there are a lot of them and if you look close, you will see the ripe (red) on down low. I circled it in yellow. There were very few ripe pods when I took this photo. I never did taste the peppers so I cannot comment on the heat or taste...dumb me. I grew it for the ornamental value and just the fun of it. But I understand they are fairly hot, at least jalapeno hot anyway. If you click on the photo below, I believe it will expand to full size.

Judo, i sent Bruce the seed for it. Like Caelien said, my original seed also came from pepperlover.com. i will see if i can dig up some pics. Little peppers that turn a dark blue where the sun hits them, eventually turning red. Not quite as hot as Bradleys Bahamiam, its a pretty juicy little pepper, different unique flavor, very productive, hundreds of tiny peppers. Its cool if you like wild and different stuff. John

Very nice, Bruce

Caelian

John, Yes, you did send me the seed for the Blue Mystery. I have send and received so many seeds I cannot keep track of them all. I love the generosity of folks on this forum. I have sent out much more seed than I have received and I enjoy doing so but it just seems if a guy is looking for a certain seed, he is more likely to find it here on the forum than elsewhere and I have only had one cross so far from a list member but I was told before hand there was a real possibility on that seed of being a cross. I have had worse luck with "established" seed sources. And like I said, I don't think you can even by the Blue Mystery seed commercially as it is a "wild" pepper.
Thanks to Scorpion_John and everyone else that has sent me seed. It is really appreciated.

Esox07,

Are you still growing these. I have a few that look like the first/ second photo. How is it taste wise and pod size.

Ronny.

I haven't grown one since 2013. I don't know why. They seem to be a very uncommon pepper and I don't know why because they are very unique. The purple flowers and the height is very unique, expecially in combination. I grow Orange and red tree habaneros which grow similar in size and stature but have the white/greenish blooms and not the purple ones like the Mystery. The pods are different as well. Here is a photo of the pods. THey are small and football shaped.

From what I can tell, this is a Wild variety. I can't say I ever tasted one of the peppers so I will leave that up to you, if indeed you have a Blue Mystery. They are fun to grow however.

Yes, I indeed do have a Blue Mystery. Seeds were from a reliable source. I will try the pods out and you know how they are.

Oh, another characteristic that I know if is that they put out a single bloom at each node.

LOL, just checked my emails and you sent them to me in a trade with Limon. Yep, there good.

Growing out the Limon too.

Ron

Maybe they're "filius blue" peppers?

Nope, they grow tall and thin unlike the photos of Filius blue plants that are thick and bushy and short.

From what I understand, this pepper was discorvered by a person that was growing another plant (I dont think it was even a pepper) in a large container and this pepper plant sprouted in the same pot. They let it grow out and this is what came of it. And it sounds like it is the source for seed since. I found that story on line somewhere. i can't remember where though.

Ive grown the Filius blue and these look nothing like those.
