This first crop is blooming hot!

For more than a year I have been tending a ghost chili plant plant I had grown from seed, the Bhut Jolokia, also known as the Naga Ghost Chili and reported to be the hottest chili in the world.

This is my the first real crop aside from a few early teasers so I am no looking forward to some truly hot culinary delights to come.
