My unexpected 2012 Bird/Tepin/Chiltepine mini project

No, thank YOU, Mark - great analysis! so I found it very interesting that the "classic" or typical Bird pepper fared quite poorly in terms of flavor....maybe more mystique about it than anything else. In any event, I have quite a selection of Bird types for my seedling customers, if I choose to go there!

The plants are quite attractive - some are very, very tall (even in very small grow bags, over 3 feet). I would choose Pequin Chiapas, the longer, fuzzy branched Chiltepin, Black Birdseye and Birdseye as the ones that had best yields and nicest appearance.
