Habanero chillis I grew in Singapore, originally from Mexico.
This is another unusual chilli. I don't know the name. Do you? This is grown at the winter garden at the Auckland domain.

In Singapore, I was given this habanero chilli, I ate the chilli and germinated the seeds. I got hundreds of chillis from my two plants. My friends were "burnt" by this very hot chilli from Mexico. Even my Indian friend's husband who could eat very hot food had to surrender to this little thing. All of us had great laughter when we tried the chilli.
The plant is gone but I have the photos. The original chilli came from Mexico, courtesy from my friend W. on his tours.
I also learnt that to beat this fireball, sip slowly milk, giving yourself a milky mustache, or take some yoghurt. This is from my research. It works like magic.
