Hi, I have a pepper plant that I grew from seeds obtained in
Peru. I planted the seeds during January 1999. The plant is
now 2ft tall and 3 feet wide (growing quickly). During 8/99
I had several bright red peppers approx. 2" in diameter. The
peppers are very round and pucker in at the bottom . My
peppers were NOT hot. They were mild with a "bite" to them.
(Delicious in salads!)
I have about 50 flowers on it now. I looked at the flowers
closely and the,
Filament = purple
anther = black and white (almost looks striped)
style and stigma = off white (with slight hint of green)
ovule(?) [where the style comes out] = green
petals = white, shaped like stars that hang down
node = about 50% have two flowers, the remainder have only
1.

Can anyone help me identify this pepper plant?
Thanks
