I'm loving the colour.....but i don't think its quite ready,i think they go a much deeper colour..according to what i can find,they should go green-red-purple i'm yet to see red yet though.

Certainly looks purple to me, :woohoo: . You could give it another few days, but I'm the impatient type, I'd pick it and enjoy, :laugh: .

I always thought that all chillies will eventually ripen to yellow, orange or red. Is this not the case?

My Black Pearls are jet-black but they turn deep red when ripe.

I'm really not sure,my gut feeling is they are not ripe,from what i understand they go a really dark colour when ripe,this nice purple colour just appeared overnight,too quick to be ripe i'm thinking....would like some help on this :unsure:

Right,i tried one....absolutely no heat at all :( ......i'm thinking (hoping) this is because they are not ripe,to make me feel better i picked a ring of fire,even though still green,bit the pointy end off,nothing,bit the stalk end off and lots of lovely heat B)....it was a really nice radiating heat,can't wait to try them when red,not to mention my scotch bonnets :)
