Tiny Hot Peppers

This is a Black Pearl Pepper.  They are hot peppers, but very small (note the nail head in the upper left corner for a little scale).  This tiny dried pepper was full of seeds.  If you shook it close to your ear, it sounded like a tiny maraca. The seeds successfully germinated...

Here's the very cool thing...the leaves are dark purple, almost black.  I have 8 of these plants, and they are going to look awesome wherever I put them.  The immature peppers are supposed to be purple/black and then ripen to red.  They are a great addition to the garden and I can't wait to see how spicy they are when they mature.
