viking pepper from andrey question

rxkeith · September 7, 2007

i received seeds from andrey, and am growing them in isolation in order to save seeds. the problem is the 2 plants i have growing have different shape peppers on them. one plant has contorted bell shaped peppers. they are bent in the middle like they sprung a leak and started to collapse on itself. it is slowly ripening from green to red. the other plant has conical shaped peppers about 6 in. long that are ripening green to yellow to red. i haven't eaten one yet, so can't compare taste. i looked at andreys description of viking on his seed list and he describes it as being a bell pepper. can anyone confirm what the real viking pepper should look like?

thanks
