I don't know, but that's one cool looking pepper!! Save seeds Never have seen anything like it What species pepper is it?

Chris

they look like they could be deformed jajapenos. But that is one cool looking pepper.

save the seeds from that freaky thing and it may have freaky kids!!

Will do and i will send you some later on this year chris when i have them ripe.!!!
The whole plant has the peppers like that...well most peppers on it anyway.!

First off, a most excellent photo!

Wish I had seen the blossom that produced that. Seriously.

I've seen similar although never one as radical as this beauty.

Unfortunately am having a senior moment and for the life of me can't remember what all can cause this. Byron, JohnF or others probably know.

Please keep us posted. The truth is out there! (can you hear the X-Files music?)

Hi John here are some pics of the blossoms as it has some left on it yet.

A SWAG Incomplete pollination or some sort of cross in the seeds.

I just picked a few of these deformed looking cayenne peppers from my own plants. Was searching for answers when I found this forum. I have many that are "normal" and a dozen or so on each of two plants (so far) that look like the pictures. The two cayenne are planted next to 2 jalepeno. Cross polination could be it, but the think cayenne was producing before the jalepeno were in bloom. But I guess it only takes a single flower to cross polinate.
