Last year when my wife was in the hospital she was in a semi-private room with one other patient. I would be there from 9am until 11pm every day with an hour commute each way on top of that. The husband of the other patient also spent a lot of time there so we talked a lot, and naturally the talk eventually got to Chili peppers. He brought me in a bag of dried peppers that he got from a friend of his who grew them in Gran Canaria. I brought him a few different types of seeds, some powders and a bottle of my Carolina Ketchup. A couple of days later his wife checked out and I never saw them again.
Around December I broke open one of his dried peppers and germinated some seeds. They are just starting to produce pods now. I call them Canary Island Cayennes. They probably didn't originally come from the Canary Islands and they may not be Cayennes but that's what they remind me of.
