Default Ornamental peppers?

My question is can you eat the things I really don’t care for growing things you cant eat.
I assume you can or they would certainly put poisonous on the label.

What’s the difference between the two?
I am not squeamish when it comes to HOT peppers.

sure you can eat them - but beware! check out the thread here on colored and ornamentals for some pictures and comments. From what I understand, they are more about pure heat and not all that much flavor, so are useful in asian stirfry dishes. But poisonous? Nope. Dangerous?? Yup!

Craig Thanks
I guess I’m guilty of not looking hard enough, ‘the answer was right under my nose.
Or maybe right behind the cats tail that was in front of me.
