This plant is one of the reasons I love to grow peppers. It is a beautiful plant. The leaves are purple and green. The flowers are a purple and white. The peppers start out purple and morph to black ultimately ending in a red color. It looks good throughout its growing cycle. I am going to make some coffee and have my morning pepper taste.
The Czechoslovakian Black is a little weak in the taste department. I did not really detect much sweetness. There is no heat at all. It has a nice crunchy pepper texture. This is the only positive attribute I could find in the taste department. This pepper is basically an Ornamental plant. It is a welcome addition to my pepper patch.

You got that right. Are you up to trying the Bhut Joklia this weekend? It is time.
Peter Piper picked a peck of _pretty_ pickled peppers!
