frutescens Eximium x frutescens

A few years ago I bought seeds from fataliiseeds called eximium x frutescens. I was wondering if anyone know the history of this pepper and if it is truly a cross between eximium and frutescens. According to the crossing matric eximium will cross with frutescens and and even baccatum. Has anyone here ever crossed a eximium with either frutescens or baccatum? I have never seen or heard of it and wondered what the flowers might look like.

couple years back i purchased seeds for Fruxim (frutescens x eximium) though not from Fataliiseeds.  I purchased my seeds from Mojopeppers.
 
I have since saved and grown it each year
I have noticed some variation in the flowers though none have ever looked like eximium flowers to me

as you can see neither look like many of the other eximium flowers.
 
 
I originally got two different phenotypes, but only continued to save seeds from the larger podded type which i also thought tasted better

they ripen from a pale green to a green with purple blush, at which time the green starts to become less pale

as the purple begins to fade away they start to turn Red

they continue to ripen until they are a candy apple red

They do not fall of easily when picked like many other frutescens I have grown do 
 
While they seem to me to be much more frutescens than eximium I will continue to grow them, as i like; the taste, burn profile, and they are decently productive even here in my short growing season. 
 
wish i could find more pictures, hope my response is of some help to you

My peppers look different than both of yours.i have never seen eximium cross with anything but pubescens so I wonder what they would look like crossed with frutescens or baccatum?
