First peppers of the year. I've got 4 different kinds going this time: Jalapenoes, Habaneros, Dragon Cayenne, and Pimiento Picante. I may pick up an Ancho if they still have one at the store later this week.
The first three were purchased as seedlings (since I misplaced my Hab seeds from last year), and the Pimiento is growing from seed. It got a late start, so it's really stunted. Anyway, pics!
Jalapenos less than a week after the first flowers.

Cayenne flowering: (There's two small peppers growing already, but I don't think you can see them in the photo

I did notice last year that my Habaneros were a little on the mild side, so the peppers are in a new location where they'll receive much more sun and heat (I've heard ambient temp. plays a role in the heat of the peppers, dunno if that's true or not).
More pics as the plants mature. The cayenne are going to be fabulous once all the peppers turn red. I might have to hold off picking them in exchange for photo ops.
