Unknown Pepper noobie questions

lumierefrere · February 24, 2010

I got this pepper from the local farm market. I'm not really a pepper person but this is great. I asked what it was and a week later was told it was "Ivory". So I researched all over the net and no Ivory I could find is this wedge shape. It's never green as far as I know. It goes from ivory to yellows/pinks/oranges and winds up red. It's a thing of beauty and sweet. So I saved seeds and just started them. Popped right up and I have nice seedlings.

Anyone have any thoughts, what can I expect, do I have a chance to get the same thing? Are peppers like tomatoes regarding dehybridization? Not that I have any clue whether this is a hybrid or not.
