Chilli Pepper Identification

Hi,

I was at RHS flower show Wisely at the weekend and came across a stand selling really nice cold frames. Inside one of the frames they had a pot full of around 6 small pepper plants on display, very ornamental indeed. I may or may not have accidently (intentionally) picked a chilli off of it to grow from seed early next spring. The thing is I am unsure what kind of chilli it is? My initial thoughts are Prairie Fire but I am not convinced. All the peppers look very orange and the plants are only 4inchs tall. Any ideas?

Thanks

    I think I've seen these plants before and I think they are not edible. They are only ornamental.

    I grew one this year called "hot patio sizzle" that holds it's fruits upright like the one in the photo Torg. It is an edible variety but mine hasn't ripened yet and the fruits are pale yellow in colour. The seed packet shows them being orange and red when fully mature.
