Mild, Hot and very Hot chilies

In this tray there are about 5 different types of chilies. They may look the same but they range from, Mild, hot to very hot.
Chilies from Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and Qld. and from my garden, collected through the years.
In Malaysia , These small chilies are call -- Chabai Burrong ,( chabai , a Malay word for chilies and burrong for bird)and chilie padi ( padi , a grain of rice) meaning small as a grain of rice or bird but so very hot! some birds do eat the seeds from these chilies too. ( maybe there's where they got the name)
The Vietnam chilies are thin and about 11/2 " really hot. with a nice flavour, Thai chilies are hot with a slightly different flavour just as nice.


Some of these chilie plants are 3 years old and I also noticed that are some cross pollination done by bees and butterflies. I may have planted them too close together, so the new strain, Ive given them new names.
The ones from my brother's garden in Qld are really hot and you get a sting when you bite into it. I've named it BC1 after his name. Its round and fat about 1 1/4" This grows to about 3-4 ' ft.


These are bought locally, 1 year old, white when young and turns red when ripen. these are bush like , I call them short white
In the front is the BC1, last year, this year, taller and more chilies, the one in the back with red chilies are hot about 3-4" , the leaves are tender and can add to soups. iIhave to look up the name of this chilie
