The tomato a-z has worked well, so let's try a pepper A-Z
game.
Just type the name of a pepper from the corresponding letter. I will start with the letter(A) and the next poster with a (B) ,and so on...
Ancho

I am unable to find a pepper beginning with U except that in the TGS catalog they have a heading,"Ultra-Hot Peppers". So if a "U" doesn't come up pretty soon, that's my entry.

I have one, Paul. u Šara. A unique Serbian hot pepper which means "in Sarajevo." It has stripes on the outside when its mature. I received seeds for this one from an overseas trade.

I see how you stealthily started back on "A" and skipped the pesky V, W, X, Y, and Z peppers. I'm going to spot you all a few: V: Violet Sparkle (a sweet pepper, purple ripening to red) W: Wiri Wiri, a.k.a. Guyana (a hot red pepper that looks almost exactly like a cherry) X: I had no luck finding a pepper with an X name, unless you count NuMex XX Hot Pepper - swap the name around and you can call it the XX Hot Pepper by NuMex. Y: Yucatan White Habanero (self explanatory) Z: Zimbabwe Bird (looks like a Tabasco, but hotter) Okay, now my compulsiveness has been temporarily satisfied and you folks can pick back up with B.

Oh man, where was my head. So here's an X:
Xochiteco
A miniature version of Jalapeno pepper. Small conical fruits turn red when fully mature. 1.5" long. Medium heat. Very productive and quite ornamental. Seed source: Seed Savers Heritage Farm, Decorah, Iowa (IA SSE HF) 13 / George McLaughlin Jr. of Tlatlauqui, Puebla, Mexico (MEXI MC G)
So somebody else go to 'B'.

Bhut Jolokia. Grew this super hot pepper in 2OO8. I nibbled the end without seeds and a tear immediately went down my cheek.

Early Sunsation Hybrid: Big, blocky bell peppers are a mature green in 70 days, then turn to a beautiful shade of golden-yellow in just two more weeks. The peppers are about 4-1/2 inches long and nearly that wide, and are smooth and consistently well shaped. As a bonus, plants are tolerant to most pepper virus diseases and 3 races of bacterial spot. Extra sweet when fully yellow
The problem for me is I have never been able to get a golden-yellow pepper out of Early Sunsation...green only.

I do very well with Early Sunsation here. Nice big, sweet, golden peppers, and the disease tolerance really helps with my rainy, humid summers. Do they not ripen before frost for you? But back to the purpose of the thread: Flavorburst - this is another yellow bell, which I included for irony because it doesn't produce well for me.
