Black scorpion tongue C. Baccatum 4/10
Fidalgo Roxa C. Chinense 8/10 This variety is one of the best looking chile peppers there is. When filled with mature pods, it looks like a plant holding candies. Besides being quite hot, they look just amazing with purple-green color when immature and purple-pink color when mature. Just look at the pictures and see for yourself, a real eye-catcher. The taste is also very good. One of greatest habanero-relatives out there.
Citron C. Chinense 8/10 Very very compact plant which bears a LOT of kinda sour tasting and quite hot pods. The pods mature from dark green to bright yellow. Quite fast to mature. Makes a perfect powder / flakes for your foods, also very nice citrus-like aroma when used fresh with any foods.
