Hot Stuff
Mother Nature must be playing a prank on mankind
(and womankind as well) when such extraordinary vegetables appear.
These are actual peppers from a garden. They are called 'Peter Peppers'.. 
The world’s most offensive-looking plant
When I first saw its picture, I thought it’s just another photoshopped
hoax, but digging deeper, I was surprised to discover that it’s a real
plant, usually called the Peter Pepper, scientific name capsicum annuum var.
annuum ‘Peter’.
It’s native to Louisiana and
Texas .
It’s been called many other names, including Chilli Willy and Penis
Chilli; and has been judged "Most Pornographic Pepper” by Organic
Gardening Magazine...
Not surprising, since it looks like so:
Apparently it has always been grown more as an ornamental thing, rather than to
be eaten, although it’s perfectly edible.
By the way, a farmer who specializes in growing them says they can grow up to
18" long! 
Sort of brings a tear to your eyes, doesn't it? |
