Dear Dave,

 I grew something similar Faita Bell.  If I really thought hard there might 
have been a little heat.  Biggest difference on these was they didn't taste 
so green or bitter like most bells which we don't like.

We have a tendency to like our chiles ripe as in red, organic, or purple.  I 
bought a new one to me yesterday called White Fire Chile.  Says very hot!!!  
Ivory, 3" x 2" cone shape, firm and thick.  Ripens early. Use ripe.  It is 
from a SF Bay Area grower Simply Organic.  I bought the other two new ones a 
sweet/spicy hab, and a tree hab.  Interesting.  I found them in the garden 
center of Yardbirds which is 15 store home improvement chain in the East and 
North Bay areas here for any other CH'ers in the area.  Last year Friedman's 
in Sonoma got in some gallon sized chiles that were a real buy.  # Thai birds 
in a gallon that were sturdy, and the usual Thai Dragons and several others.

in California where Chile weather has arrived.  It's in the 80's!!!!!
