I'm still thinking they are serranos and not the birds eye peppers.

small peppers.

The ones in my garden that I thought were Bird's Eye grow UP. Pointy end up.

Serranos do grow down. I didn't find a photo yet but I did find this site and I'll bet y'all are gonna want some of these! http://www.chileseeds.co.uk/ho...

Dan, I just remembered I have serranos in the yard. The leaves on your plant don't look like serrano leaves. They look like this: http://gstuff.co.nz/shop/garde...

Oops, I mean Ray!

The leaves in Almas link are much larger than the ones on the chili I grew. Mine looked just like what I see in your picture Ray. Chili's were about 3/4" long and grew downward. Plant got to be about 18" tall although it was in a 7 gallon container and that might have prevented it from growing to it's normal size. I'll start some of the seeds I saved and we can compare again later this summer.

I found a pic. It's not a close up so it's a little hard to compare.

Sorry, I'm still not buying serranos. The leaves are too small and clustered differently and the peppers are too small, too. Ray, can you post a pic of the whole plant?

Ray,

Here's a description of the other pepper I told you and Ken about. I have a few seeds if you would like to try this one.

I went back and checked my past recording and sorry Alma.
Its a Serrano.

Dan - if that's the one you told us about the pain you suffered I'll pass.
Really appreciate the offer but no thanks.

That's the one!

Here is a pic of the bird's eye peppers I saved for seed. These are a little bigger than what most of them were. They look a lot like the ones in your pick above.

The latest on the serrano.

Looking very good Ray. All of my peppers are just getting going.....I think they were waiting for the heat to kick in.
