Yes Ari, same plant. Also there are varieties that turn yellow. I must
say that I am discussing bell pepers. Hot peprs from Amazon are very
small, start green and mature very red. Habaneros, mexican pepers I
found only green. But chiles start green and then turn red. They are
very commonly seen drying in the fall on the desert southwest. :)
