<< Well, the first of three "white" habs has pods starting to ripen to a nice bright yellow. Looks like that will be the final color for that plant. >> Scott! WAIT!!! It will gradually turn to a lovely glowing orange and finally to red when it is the hottest. We picked them at each stage of coloring and were very surprised as to the lack of heat when white, and delighted as the color changed and so did the heat. Mary-Anne
