    Morning all, total newbie. I bought, planted and successfully grew chilli plants from seed. I got a mix bag and have no idea what they are, one has flowered early with small white flowers which I can't identify. Any help would be appreciated

      Not at all, it came from a chilli variety bag, looks noting like anything I've had before. But since it came from that bag I've only assumed it would be a chilli.

      Yeah, wait and see what others say but I think that might be a weed.

        Pics turned and enlarged

        Suspiciously weedy.

          To me the growth habit is totally wrong for a chilli.

            Looks nothing like a chill or any kind of Pepper.

              It doesn't look like a chillie to me either but I have a vague memory of seeing one that grows fruit that is the size and shape of small cranberries. They are very hot and also grows in clusters. I'll have a look through my old notes and see if I can find anything on that one.
