I have grown Maui Purple peppers for years now. This creaure was the last seed in the packet, but bear in mind I grew all of my old seeds this year to just get them out of the drawer so I can grow new different stuff next year. So I have no idea if this is a hybrid that got stuck in, or if it was something that I had ordered long ago and just happened to have gotten misplaced. I do know I have never seen this before. It has purple streaked white flowers, the peppers begin a creamy yellow, then turn to that bright purple then finally to red. They are thin walled and about as hot as my Tabasco peppers. It is actually a very beautiful plant, and the peppers have a woody taste in a good way. Any ideas what this is? Oh yeah the peppers are about 1/2 inch by 3 inches or so.
