    While mostly true, this is also mostly a Bell Pepper thing here with distinct stages, with Bells bred to sort of stall out at specific color stages. Scotch Bonnet also, in my experience, does the full green, neon green, yellowish green, neon orange, red stages. Each stage has a different flavor (IMO orange is the best of both worlds, sweet with floral and bitter notes from the green stage).

    Though, most peppers are green and then turn red, or green, orange for a day or two, and then get to red. Plenty will turn red from the top down, or starting at the side. Everything in my garden this year was green to red.

        Queen Majesty has a scotch bonnet and ginger hot sauce that is so goddamn good. Unfortunately, the bottles are really tiny and kind of expensive.
