You're right Blah, the actual pepper was grown in Australia. Butch Taylor is credited for developing the strain it came from and selling the seeds via a company that is also in Australia. The type of pepper that was genetically altered to create the seeds comes from Trinidad. Butch T lives in Baton Rouge LA, so at a strech you could call it the "Baton Rouge Blindness Pepper".

I was just using Wikipedia for my info before but I found out a lot more at The Pepper seed's website

I also found out it's not officially recognized as the hottest by Guiness as the Naga Viper still holds that record (the Naga is an altered strain of the Ghost pepper). However, it is rated higher on the Scoville scale and is generally recognized as the current World's hottest pepper.

I learned a lot from the little research I did on this subject, like that it's not only the type of pepper but the conditions it's grown in that determine how spicy it is.
