Local Garden Center had Bhut Jolokia plants cheap

I'm just curious,
Is this normal? I don't remember seeing Bhuts there before.
They had Bhut Jolokia, Scotch Bonnet, Tabasco, Goats Weed / Black cobra, and a few other that I don't normally see.
All were $3.99 and around 20" tall !
For that price I had to get a few of each to add to my garden.

This was a $3.99 Bhut !

They had them up were i am from for 7.99....they just dropped them down to 4.99. everything from bhuts, naga morich, 10 diff habs, bishops, fatalii's bonets..and many more
 
Look at the leaves, big spade shaped dark green leaves, chinense. Smaller, lighter green leaves...anuum
 
Does not look like a bhut to me either. My profile picture is of three bhuts that I started this year, and I kept two of them. The leaves on bhut are different, and the foliage is much thicker on a bhut. That doesn't mean you wont enjoy the plant though, maybe it will produce something amazing and tasty.
 
Looks like it needs sun to me

I find my annuum has dark green

My frutescans and chineses are lighter green

Annuum have soft waxy leaves

Chinenses have firmer smooth leaves
 
look at the plant in the picture next to it. It's a super hot.
The lankyness is because all of the nodes were trimmed to the first y for some reason.
The picture may not show it, but it is. I'll get a top down shot for you guys.
