yer right i looked it up- it's an asiatic lily- very pretty flower- now i got glads & bach. buttons,morning glory, & ya name it i planted it - that was the 1st to bloom,but i'm most proud of my glads ( my grandmother's fave flower), my jalapeno/strawberry crossbreed- don't ask. my habanera peppers,and birdhouse gourds.. i also have awesome 4yr old plumeria trees(not here in kentucky- they live w/ mom in south texas coast) but i may pot & transplant here,,,ya may really like my "hot pepper strawberries"

maybe i'm dr. frankengardner but really the strawberries will actually burn your tongue- i'm from texas so i know spicy mango salsa- it's kinda like that... i don't know if i could do it again twice. if i could do it on purpose i'd prolly be rich ( so said bill gates to the man he ripped of for the ms copyright

Hmmmmm, don't much care for strawberrys cuz they look sweet, but I always get the bitter ones. Maybe if they were "spicy" instead they'd be right up my alley. I may give your idea a try. Where should I send your royalties????

I think you should propegate the results - whether there is much of a market for jalapeno strawberries is a different story - but its certainly something that one would want to grow as a curiosity!

Like Mango salsa - hmmm - spicy strawberry salsa maybe? Its the new summer barbeque appetizer!! What could you serve them with though?
