I found this most interesting plant today! It is called Ornamental Pepper Explosive Ember ... In other words ... Purple Pepper Plant. Say that three times fast. Apparently it is a recent cultivar grown especially for its color ... purple and red fruit AND grown for its HOT flavor. Apparently it is part of the hispanic influence coming into our lives. Fine with me. I'm very excited about it. I bought one for me and one for Lauren. She was just as excited as I was ... it is strikingly beautiful up close. Purple-tinted leaves and purple flowers AND purple peppers that will turn red when ready ... FABULOUS!
