You think that's something? Just wait until you learn about bell peppers.

Seriously between that and now beans I'm convinced there are actually only like five different types of vegetables.

Oh I went down that rabbit hole when I was growing jalepeños a couple years ago. Started crossbreeding them with every pepper I could get my hands on.

I don’t know much about bell peppers. I’m guessing the yellow ones are African, green europe, blue America?

They are all the exact same plant. They change color the longer they are allowed to ripen. green > yellow > orange > red.

Yes and no. Green bell peppers are underripe. But the final color depends on the variety. A red bell pepper doesn't turn yellow or orange, just directly to red. Yes, it looks odd!
Purple peppers and white peppers also exist.
Source: my parents like to grow them.
