Australian Garden- Bell Chilli Bush

 

This pretty Bell Chilli Pepper bush grows in my cousin's garden in Australia. This is the first year they have grown this bush, and they already have a bumper crop. They sell the peppers at the local market. 

This pepper is also known as Christmas Bell, Bishop's Crown, or Joker's Hat. I've never seen this type of pepper before and I think the decorative shape is so pretty.
