Rose5, while generally speaking, I tend to find the smaller locally grown chillies hotter than the bigger ones, globally, the hottest chillies are NOT the smallest ones…

Houston being close to Mexico and other Latin countries has a huge population of Latinos, and they sure love their dishes spicy.. and so at most markets and groceires, one will find huge varieties of fresh and dried chiles. But not until Thai restaurant and vietnamese stores sprung in the city, that thai chiles and ur own siling labuyo was known. Edel, the plant of your yaya’s mother might have cross polinated with banana pepper (sweet & mild), which is also elongated like our labuyo, but bigger in size. Diffrent family of sili plants should not be planted close to each other, side by side, for it will sure result in a crossbred variety.

Mr. MM, i remember my daughter’s yaya telling me that her mother has a siling labuyo plant that she planted from seeds.. unfortunately (she has a green thumb, btw), the chillies are sweet and kids from the neighborhood eats it freshly picked from the shrub.. RE: “fake” chilies, yeah maybe they are greenhouse grown =)
