Thanks. It's my favorite. The peppers turn a deep red when mature and look really amazing against the foliage. They're supposedly edible if you like hot food. So I decided to cut one and place it on my tongue. AH! What a mistake! Had to rub topical Benadryl on my lips and nose. Then took an oral Benadryl and chased it with a gallon of milk. Took hours for the heat to subside. LOL. Live and learn.

Whew. Sounds like it’s hotter than an habanero.

I really like spicy food, but this pepper sounds almost dangerous. Now, I wear contact lenses and I could sure tell some stories from my less-informed days. Wowza!
