If the orange is an intermediate color on the way to red, the peppers won't have full ripe flavor at that color.

I can't help much; I've never grown an orange ripe that did well here.

Anyone know of a good (true) orange sweet pepper that is available untreated?  I've tried Gourmet from Johnny's but it does not yield well and is not early enough.  I've also tried an "orange strain" of CA Wonder and it failed.  I see beautiful varieties offered in catalogs like Stokes but all their stuff is treated and I am certified organic.  I plan to try Oranos from High Mowing but would also like to trial 1 or 2 others.

Thanks.  -John
