Bargain Chilli Fiesta

While shopping this morning found some of the "Suttons Chilli Festival" plants reduced from £4 to 50p - bargain. Therefore purchased 5 different varieties to augment our current chilli plants (all Cayenne).

So, in increasing SHU order we have:

Exceedingly mild pepper Trinidad Perfume:

Slightly warmer pepper Joe's Super Long:

Ever so slightly warmer, Zimbabwe Black:

Absurdly hot #1 Bhut Jolokia:

Oh my god how can they get any hotter?! Trinidad Moruga Scorpion:

The last two are ex-world-champions in the hottest chillis in the world contest, the last recently knocked off it's perch by the "Carolina Reaper".

Worth noting that the real heat depends very closely on growing conditions and in particular heat and humidity during fruit growth and ripening. Will be interesting to see how hot these guys come out - last year's Scotch Bonnets were pretty good... Of course having Bhut Jolokia and Moruga Scorpions in the same greenhouse allows the possibility of accidentally creating the world's hottest cross breed "Wantage Inferno Chilli" - we shall see :o)
