Make A Guess

[Gavriil]

Can We get Some Opinions, Friend of mine sent me this picture and was wondering what kind it was.

paper lantern?

Maybe a deformed Peter pepper?

(and, no, I'm not trying to be funny. There is such a thing and while this one actually doesn't look quite anatomically correct enough, I think they can vary. )

Is it hot? The Peter Peppers heat varies, with a 5,000-30,000 Scoville rating. Most descriptions I've read say it is fairly hot.

Peter was my second guess. I couldn't see the anatomy, either, but I think you're right that they would vary from one pepper to the next.

Broome pepper of Australia?

[Gavriil]

Asked my friend if it was hot or sweet but he hadn't tried it

"No haven't tried it. I grew it from a bunch of seeds snd it is a very unique plant. The leaves are very very small. The peppers themselves are very different because each one has an indentation at the very tip. I just want to find out if anybody knows what kind of Pepper it is."

Thanks Appreciate the replys I'll let him know

I suspect that is may be a cross. It could be a mutant peter pepper. I haven't grown them, but from the pictures I see there is quite a variablity to them.
Look at this picture. They look similar to what you have.

That looks like a Cubanelle which is a sweet pepper indigenous to the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico.

On a whim I dug through the frying pepper bin at the store this afternoon and there where peppers there that had similar ends to them. I think we don't have enough information to even hazzard a guess. Time to grow some plants from them and see what they look like.

Here's his reply when I said it looked alot like the broome pepper

"Yeah, it's similar, but the leaves on the plant shown in the pic are about 6 times bigger than the ones on my plant. I actually grew 2 plants, but only one matured enough to produce anything worthwhile and even then there wasn't a lot to write home about. The largest pepper produced is about 2 inches long and is about 3/8 inch in diameter - not circumference."

I think It's just some kind of mutant

[Doug9345]

I wonder if it's a stable mutant.

[Redbaron]

Looks like Mick Jagger's lips to me. Especially the first one.

[Doug9345]

If it's a stable mutation or cross that can be stabilized ,call it Monkey Lips.

Korno de karp looked like this sweet till turned red, then hot

[Calcat36]

From the plant description and by the first picture, and without knowing the heat level or seeing it cut, it looks like a ripe pepperoncini to me. And the second picture looks like it is pretty much drying out. Did your friend save the seeds?
