John,
I offered the seeds for the Elephant's Ear pepper. It is red very sweet and meaty pepper. It is not a bell type more of a horn or sheperd. It originates from Serbia and is wonderful roasted on its own with a bit of garlic and olive oil, or as they do in the Balkans it is used to make a pepper relish called "ajvar". I still have lots of seed if you some want to send me a SASE. Alex

Thanks Alex
I received some in a trade and though they said sweet pepper did not know what type. Sounds like a good good tasting sweet pepper. John |
