in addition to the beautiful peppers listed above, I have discovered some other beautiful peppers with usable tasty fiery pods too 
here are some of the plants that i thought were particularly good looking as well as useful;
Belingrath gardens
multi color variegated foliage with lots of dark tones, pods go through several color changes, and are similar heat to a pequin
Chinese 5 color
several neat color phases on blocky pods large enough for small stuffing peppers
OrangegumTiger MAMP (seeds from Mojo pepper)
Beautiful contrast between the dark purple foliage and the peachy Orange pods Pretty darn HOT, and tasty too
Pimenta Puma;
Pimenta Puma has nice dark foliage and several color phases on the ripening pods, finishing a golden color with purple blush
CGN21500 x 7 pot Berrackpore (Blushing Dutchman):
i think this was an AjiJoe creation, but i'm not sure, I received it in a trade
i really like this plant, some can have darker foliage than others, it can grow pretty tall (mine got 4+ feet in 1 short season, i suspect it could get even taller)
lots of neat color changes on the pods and they finish a nice peach color blushed with purple, Tasty and Hot
Pimenta Puma x Reaper;
(i got this cross from FordsFieryFoods, last year, (all but 1 plant had dark foliage, and the following pods)
it seems i have reached my pictures limit for 1 post. I have plenty more beautiful peppers to share, w/ pics!
can I get a bump ?
G.I.P.

Here are some less common peppers that I think have great ornamental value as well as tasty pods;
I have for the past 3 years been growing out two different colored PdNxBhut, a red ripening pheno, and a peach/cream ripening pheno
PdN x Bhut (purple and green foliage, RED ripening pheno)
PdN x Bhut (very dark foliage, Peach / Cream ripening pheno)
and finally my current favorite cross for both ornamental value and fantastic pods is;
Large BBG7 x (PdN x Bhut red pheno)
Nice purple and green foliage, pods as hot as any Bhut, excellent bleeding calyx, great color contrast of pods against plant, unfortunatelly i am only at F2 with this cross and expect to see lots of variation this year
(I will be selecting for dark foliage, bleeding calyx, and productivity)
if I remember more plants that i thought had particular ornamental as well as edible value i will add them here

Filius blue was another colorful ornamental that i grew, the plant stays pretty short, makes colorful pickled peppers, but there are a lot of seeds so prep can be time consuming
