Fish Peppers - Page 6

I think that's a very credible line of thinking and that maybe Fish is predisposed to throwing the odd double. Nothing much else does it around here with the hotties thus far.

For many years I had a patch of reseeding long thai hots, sometimes they would make a fused/siamese pepper. They were funny looking, of them they weren't always fused from top to bottom, but some were split like a mermaid tail--the ends would curl up like the toe points of harlequin shoes.

Eggplants will sometimes do the same doubling thing, but I've seen it more with the long Asian types--not the rounded or fat tubbies, like rosa de bianca or black beauty.

This doubling and tripling has got to be a solanum trait.

What a nice plant this is. It's only a few inches tall at this point, but there is quite a bit of variegation on the leaves. I probably wouldn't have purchased the seeds for it if I hadn't read this thread. Seems a lot of folks enjoy growing it. Whether as just an ornamental or to put the peppers to good use, it's definitely worth growing. So thanks to all those who posted.
