On the grass next to the pond in the botanic garden in Zürich, they had made a neat little arrangement with chili fruits when I visited in 2017. Then, I had no idea chilis could come in so many different shapes and colors. Beautiful – but dangerous!
(Today, though, the fruits on the double rows of chili plants by my living room window are catching the evening sun on their shiny skin, red and yellow, orange, green and purple. Enough to make my eyes water and me feel the bite of the summer sun in my throat for every meal of the coming long, dark winter season.)
