Because on first inspection it looked like they were, but now meathead said they aren't them if they're turning red I took a second look. It still appears to me that it's a dark red, but may just be dark.

Summers here don't really get kickin til late june and stays fairly consistently dry and around the 70-90 range until maybe mid september, where it starts to cool down and slide back into the 50ish degree drizzle weather for a good 8 months.

Maybe not turning red, but certainly turning dark and possibly becoming red in the near future. You can see the change in shade on the top of the pepper in the 2nd pic...

Yes, but I'm in oregon and it's now september. In all my past years of growing I could count on maturity by this point, because we don't have a very hot september here. Just figured maybe cross pollination or something like that might have happened...

Thanks for the responses guys... and yes these are giving about the amount of heat Id say a Habanero gives.

    These were sold to me as scotch bonnets, and they appear to be too. However they've stayed green for the whole summer and haven't turned, and really don't have much heat at all, almost like a bell pepper. Any idea what's going on? Thanks.

    These were marketed as "lemon drop" but everywhere I read about lemon drop peppers online it's bright yellow peppers that are roughly twice the heat of jalapenos. These were extremely hot, and have stayed mostly green and then turned straight to dark/red. Anyone know what these might be?
