Chilies in Las Cruces, Large and Small

The small chiles, all on one plant, I believe, are at the Chile Pepper Institute Teaching and Demonstration Garden in Las Cruces. (See sign photo.)

It appears to be a large red beached whale to drivers passing America's Best Value Inn on Picacho Avenue in Las Cruces. It is, however, proclaimed by a sign to be the world's largest chile. GIven that chiles are edible, more likely it is the world's largest sculpture of a chile. We had this same confusion in Durant, Oklahoma, when viewing what claimed to be the world's largest peanut. We suspected it was the world's largest sculpture of a peanut.

Does anyone know the size listing for chile and peanut sculpture?
