This fun peppers I got from orchid collectors. They had been on a trip in to rain forest in Guyana. Near Mazaroni River, they ran on this chile pepper. They have enjoyed this variety much and cultivated it with success in Stockholm, Sweden. Now I grow it for the first time. I must say that so far it is one of my favorites this year. It bloomed first and has a bushy growth habit and looks nice.

That it is a Capsicum annuum (or closely related), there is no doubt. So far only one flower per nod.

The foliage is healthy and looks set to thrive.

Now I hope that the plant is to be as promising as it has been so far.

The plant is slightly more hairy than normal capsicum annuum.
