I've planted these last year but don't remember what kind..they look like habanero, and I Did plant Habanero, but Orange ones(which worked out great!). and now one plant has red fruit and the other yellows. are these Habanero?
And another pepper - it was labeled as a Scorpion but obviously isn't. any idea on what kind it might be?

Hi Spike I've moved the chilli thread back up if you re-post on there I'm sure Stacey will know what they are
Thanks KEF!
Spike, have you eaten one yet?
Habs have quite a distinctive taste and heat.
What was the source of your Orange Habanero seeds, could these plants have come from those seeds or not?
I haven't eaten any yet, but as soon as they ripen i will!
its not likely the seeds were from my Orange Hab's seeds since I labeled the Orange habs.. Only thing i can think of is I ordered seeds online(Bhut Jolokia i think) and mabye got wrong seeds?
I don't know where you are spiketiger, but if you're anywhere near Chichester, West Dean Gardens ( a fabulous place ) are having their chilli festival this weekend.

I'm sure someone there would ID it for you.
We're planning a visit on Sunday.
I wonder if Stacey will be there.
That sounds amazing... I wish i could be there but i'm far away, in Israel
lol, yeah, that's a bit of a commitment isn't it?
hahah yup
Spike, agreed they don't look like Bhuts, so getting some 'wrong' seed is a possibility.
