Is This What a Pollinated Cayanne Pepper (Flower) Looks Like?

Hello, recently my Cayanne Pepper plants have produced their second "round" of flowers. The first time they did this all of the flowers were still on and I left for a trip and when came back and I could clearly see the peppers. Now while I am still home they flowered again but now they are (what I think) just starting to produce a second round of peppers? I believe that is what they are doing now, but I never seen them at this stage before. I have only seen flower and obvious pepper. Do these flowers look like they have been pollinated or are they dropping unpolinated? I just want to make sure, I think I can see a little pepper forming. Thank you for reading.

Yes, these peppers have just dropped their skirts so to say, you are in for a next round of pods!

Yes that is what a flower looks like just after it sets fruit. But I can say with 100% certainty that that is not a Cayenne. Cayenne is an Annuum and that plant is clearly a Chinense (multiple flowers per node.) Do you have a pic of the pods that it put out earlier in the season?

I did not get pictures of mine but here is one that I got off of the internet that looks close to what they looked like.

Its probably a super Annum. They do have multiple flowers per node but they dont have a constricted calyx.

Well, I stand corrected. Apparently that variety has been crossed with a chinense to get the multiple flower per node characteristic for higher yield. So yeah, if your peppers looked like that then all is normal.
