Hey Beat - glad you could make it.
I got the pepper from someone at the spring plant swap. But for the life of me I can’t remember who. The tag says Pepperoncini Calabrese.
A description from ehow.com.
Originating from Calabria, Italy, the calabrese pepper is a spicy, sweet delicacy. Planted in a warm, sunny location, the compact plants will produce an abundance of petite, round peppers that turn dark red when fully developed. Fried, pickled, fresh or dried, the calabrese is an ideal accompaniment to authentic Italian dishes. Though delicious, the calabrese is not commonly found in American gardens, meaning transplants may be difficult to come by. To try your hand at growing this piquant pepper, you'll probably have to start from seed.
