Could you tell me what variety of pepper that is in the second photo? It looks like some sort of poblano, maybe, but if it will actually turn that color naturally, then I want to grow some. We grow rainbow peppers that stay purple for some time before turning red, but I’d certainly like to grow some blue peppers.
It’s Pasilla Bajio (the little raisin) from White Flower Farm’s obviously racist “black vegetables” page.
