Or Bhut Jolokia (Ghost Peppers) or Scotch Bonnets ?
I have all three coming up in my garden and I'm wondering how long the peppers take to mature after they reach full size, I've got peppers that are huge and have been that way for almost a month but they are still green.

My first season of Habaneros were tiny, after wintering the plant inside , it took off and has large peppers almost as big as my thumb.
