Leslie --
I am growing Caribbean Hots for the first time this year as well. I've
found them to ripen to a nice, deep red, about the same size and shape
(maybe a little smaller) as my orange habaneros. Their heat is substantial
and the flavor similar to habaneros. I do like the chiles, but I have to
say that they are neither as hot nor as flavorful as my orange habs.
However, they are nice to put into dishes where you would like to get some
good heat but without overwhelming the dish with the flavor of habaneros.
Good luck.
Matt
