You indeed had no way of knowing that !
They'd probably die if they were outside though due to our climate. A wet, soggy, cold climate. During the past two weeks we've either had a thick fog or downpours of rain.

Now I just noticed another strange thing... The fruit is turning black. It's not rotting it looks as if it was ripening but the vezanka is supposed to ripen to red, not black. Maybe it's just an intermediate stage, I have no idea !

Anyways, I've sent a few messages to Darren Abbey and he has been very helpful, explaining to me the various mechanisms of albinism and color in plants. Now, apparently the only real way to know is to have seeds and see what happens, so I'll do just that once the pepper is ripe to ensure seeds are fully viable.
