Hi, I'm in Brazoria County - my pequins are even smaller than yours and way hotter than you describe. Possibly is tepin type or one that got naturally crossed with a mild cultivar. Mockingbirds love these little guys and sometimes I'll see the whole bush shaking with a Mockingbird harvesting.
You're lucky to be in Montgomery County. The Extension Horticulture agent there is Tom LeRoy and he's top-notch. The extension office number is 936-539-7824, located at 9020 Airport Road, Conroe, TX 77303.
Tom and Montgomery Master Gardeners are also having a plant clinic
this Saturday:
May 24 Plant Clinic (bring questions and samples)
Lone Star College- Kingwood, Academy for Lifelong Learning,
281.312.1749. / 10 AM - Noon
You'd get great info if you can stop in.
Could post back and let us know what you've found out? The mildness is interesting as nobody I know has a bird's eye that isn't blazing hot.
Monica
