Chihuahua sized.

Some Orange Thai** show similar but green >> orange pods, and are a bit larger. They are commonly grown for eating. (Medusa is tasty too.)

Note that all 'ornamentals' are edible, but they are grown for their looks. Black Pearl, for instance, is very seedy and some people (like me) think it tastes soapy.


** There are some 70 native Thai varieties, and only a few names in common use. "Orange Thai" indicates a plant from Thailand with an orange pod, but that may cover a dozen varieties. When you look for seeds, look at the pictures.
