I never thought much about it-the peppers weren't anything special!
That's good to know. I think I will grow at least 6- 3 with the weird leaves, 3 with normal leaves, just to see.

I don't know for sure if it's stable, but the description of it showing up spontaneously reminds me of what happened with GGWT. But I sure can't wait to see how yours turn out! Is anyone else growing this right now?
Thank you. That was an interesting read. I think I even saw it before.
