Pretty sad when they have such a nice web site, and obviously didn't bother to check out any other nice sites to get some facts. This reminds me of my experience the other day at the local gardening place. They told me that Thai Hots had the "Don't eat raw" warning because they were so hot. The Habs next door had no warning, as the Thai Hots are "hotter than Habaneros". They also said they had some Scotch Bonnets, and when I asked where they were (since I hadn't seen any), they pointed to the Habs. Said they were the same thing... (?) I hope they know their flowers, since that seems (even more so now) to be their specialty. -- Erich C-H # 2099 Silver Glen American Shorthairs www.worzellaphoto.com/pets/index.htm
