I am growing Chocolate Habs along with my Franciscas. The Franciscas set out very light green , large fruit at least a week earlier than the Chocolate Habs. The Chocolate Habs set a very, very dark smaller fruit later and have just started to ripen. But imagine my surprise when the Chocolate Habs started turning orange!! I got the seeds from peppers that were so deep brown that they actually looked like they had been dipped in chocolate. Only a few of them have started to ripen so I am hoping I get some brown ones. I don't guess that there is any chance the ones that turned orange will darken,eh? Maybe I'll just have to chocolate coat them - which actually doesn't sound like a bad idea.
