Mystery Pepper

9 years ago

OK Chile heads. I ordered seeds from Pepper Joe's. In the chaos of starting the seeds I ended up with a plant labelled as a Scotch Bonnet, but it must have been a rogue seed. Can anyone identify what this is? Its flowers are mostly white with a little purple on them. I am. Assuming it is spicy, but I'm still at least a month of from my scotch bonnets.

No idea. Pepper Joe is known for mixed up / wrong seeds.
Pic is sideways, too.

The pepper is purple with a few veins of green still running through it. No idea if the purple is the final colour. The only pepper that appears to resemble it is the Douglas pepper, but since its a super hot I would be surprised to see it this far along. My scotch bonnets are still quite small and green. The pepper is about three inches long if that helps...
