50 Shades of Little Blue

These pictures here are a perfect example of why I love to grow peppers.  This is the 'Little Blue' container variety hot pepper that I have growing in the pepper shrine.  What a beautiful sampling of natural colors!  This plant reminds me very much of the Bolivian Rainbow pepper seeds that I was given several years ago except that I can find these to get again!  Always a nice bonus ...

The Little Blue pepper is one of those varieties that really needs to be viewed from a few different angles to see what's really growing on with it.  Hard to believe all this color is from a single plant!

Since I'm all about the color with this one I just had to bring it out of the greenhouse to see how it would look with a few different backdrops.  I think I like the brick myself ...

Thanks for taking a look at some of my garden photos!  Please feel free to share and explore some of the other garden photo posts.

First Ripe Orange Fogo Pepper

So while I was out in the greenhouse today watering the pepper shire I happened to notice that one of the peppers on the Orange Fogo plant had ripened and changed color.  I don't think these two pictures really do it justice but is it just me or is that little pepper the same color as an orange cream Popsicle?

I must admit, I'm quite anxious to try this variety.  I get the impression that it will be a hotter pepper but you never know until you try!
