hi all :lol: ive been growing hot peppers 3 years now and this year the same . i have these 6 plants which i cant identify ! i know what they were meant to be (either mustard or gold habanero) but they seem from my internet researce to be totally neither !

all plants approx 2.5ft tall and loaded with upright pods measuring 1.5-2 inches across and 1.5-2 inches tall.triations on all pods also.
tried green pod and no heat ..

i was hoping you may be able to help me identify these peppers as its really iritating not knowing their true identity...

cheers , dmoe

hi , cheers for all your replies theyre much appreciated :lol: ;)
i got the seeds as a present from my girlfriend who got them possibly off ebay though am not certain , the pods are still green and as yet have no heat to them . the pods are now starting to turn purple so i think about 2x2 inches is mature size.
have had a look at the links and info provided and found this picture on flickr. says of firecracker and now my peppers are developing the purple colouration displayed in this picture i found...

this picture is a perfect match of my plants.
having looked i see various types described as firecracker though most are Firecracker Piquin a smaller type.
would seem firecracker the most likely though this size i am yet to see described only pequin i have seen so far... would you agree this is firecracker ??

cheers again to you all :)

I've had firecrackers grow to be about that size before. If they are firecrackers they will turn purple, orange and finally red.
 
very hot you say ? any idea of approx scoville for these as i still find nothing... also another plant i have is looking like a piquin firecracker...(supposed top be a hab) pods are identical shape and colour but started cream now turning purple !!!(did read is purple to cream to red though) seems i got more than 1 mis-named seed packet this year ! this plant is literally alive with flowers and peppers...

i reckon these are too small for tazmanian but they were supposed to be habs... seems like im lacking this year especially in quantity.. this time last year my caribbean and white and red savina were nearly ready but a poor spring in the uk has delayed like 6-8 weeks this year the flowering... shame as the firecrackers,bulgarian carrots are well on the way to completion yet habs are few and far betwen...
