The Mexican supermarkets here in  SoCal.  Vallarta
Supermercado, carry these peppers and the colors range from
bright red to nearly white  with all shades of yellow, gold
and orange in between.  Some are fairly mild - the larger
ones and some are huge- nearly the size of a baseball - most
are slightly longer than wide, but most of the larger ones
around almost spherical, and they all have a fairly thick
flesh - they are heavier than you would expect a pepper of
this size to be.

I find that they taste better if they are allowed to wither
just a bit, that is, when the skin just begins to look
slightly slack.  The flavor is more pronounced and sweeter.
