Hot Cherry Peppers

Does anyone grow Hot Cherry Peppers? My wife asked me last year to grow some for pickling. Do you have a recommendation on where to find seeds? 
 
Any input is appreciated!

I'd like to try these. Not sure about their heat level, but they're C. baccatum so I'm sure the flavor is great!
 
I grew Trepadiera do Werner last year.  Great pepper, starts white ends red not too much heat.  The pods are smaller than a Cherry Pepper, size of a quarter at best.

Any significant flavor/heat changes as the color changes? Or best eaten Red?
 
Brazilian Starfish are nice for your intentions as well.  
 
Pimenta Barra do Ribiero is another good choice.  I grew a plant last year.  Thirty inches tall in a pot and loaded with delicious peppers.  They transition through beautiful colors on their way to red.
They are probably much like T do W.

That's a great photo!

Update: I just got home from vacation and my Cherry Pepper seeds are here!
