Mother Nature must be playing a prank on mankind
(and womankind as well) when such extraordinary vegetables appear.
These are actual peppers from a garden. They are called 'Peter Peppers'..
The world's most offensive-looking plant
When I first saw its picture, I thought it's just another photoshopped hoax, but digging deeper, I was surprised to discover that it's a real plant, usually called the Peter Pepper, scientific name capsicum annuum var. annuum 'Peter'.
It's native to Louisiana and Texas.
It's been called many other names, including Chilli Willy and Penis Chilli; and has been judged "Most Pornographic Pepper" by Organic Gardening Magazine...
Not surprising, since it looks like so:
Apparently it has always been grown more as an ornamental thing, rather than to be eaten, although it's perfectly edible.
By the way, a farmer who specializes in growing them says they can grow up to 18" long!
Sort of brings a tear to your eyes, doesn't it?
