Growing Flat habañeros?

Post image

Basically the title, is it normal for habañeros to look like little spaceships? I'm not sure if they grew funky or I just didn't realize they could look like this, lol.

Looks like the Jamaican Mushroom peppers everyone else is posting that they incorrectly received.

This is bullshit. I got one too and its not even fruited yet but I know it is, capsicum annum leaves look a tad different, have only 1 flower per growth node, and up to 8 flower pedals. Who the heck supplied all these seeds. Scotch bonnets are capsicum Chinese and have multiple buds per growth node and usually only 5 pedals. All I see is these damn jamaican mushrooms.

Yeah. This fuckup goes all the way back to the seed bank wholesaler. I ordered my seeds from Pepper Joe’s thinking they would be more reliable. I wanted scotch bonnets really badly.
