With most of its pods suddenly gone, the plant flowers and sets the next flush like crazy.

(Note that not all plants do this in a way that is dramatic enough to notice.)
I'm still waiting for that flush of ghost peppers to start turning.
One thing I have noticed, ghost peppers do NOT like this hot weather the darn things will not set fruit and it is ticking me off big time.
Maybe they like a bit of shade the lemon drop plant is over ran with them.
