For those garden gurus w/ lots of chile experience, I've got a curiosity. 
I'm growing a red hab called "congo red" and the morphology of the plant
is quite a bit different from other habs.  It has much larger leaves,
fewer of them, spread further apart and the flower pedicles seem to bunch
up more than other habs I've grown (and the flowers are BIG).  The red
savinas I've seen have a similar morphology and I was wondering if this is
typical of red habs (rica red, etc) or not.  I suppose it doesn't make
that much difference (it's the first of my plants to set fruit--yeaaaay! 
Oregon is mucho late), but it seems just about as different from other
habs as Scotch bonnets are from orange habs.  Any thoughts?
