I threw this one out in my grow logs, but this one continues to amaze me. When I bought these (Bhut) peppers last year, I don't recall seeing this. Maybe it didn't produce? Anyway, this was preached as a Red Bhut. Differences ow as pods ripen: Thicker body wall; smooth surface skin, not Bhut pimply; orange in final ripening color: so I am trying to narrow it down, but that may never happen. Heat is that of a Bhut, but it is a bit quicker to set in. Hmmm.

Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.

Which one are you actually in question about? Or did they both come off the same plant?

I have a Bhut Orange Copenhagen that puts out pods that look like both of what you have pictured here, on the same plant. The pods on the lower branches are elongated and more orange, whereas the ones up top are more of a 7 Pot shape, and will turn bright red.

They are not from the same plant. The red one is a Bhut as it is like all my other pods from several plants. I don't remember seeing these orange things last year either. All but one plant are 2nd-yr plants. I have one 3-yr. So far just the orange smooth things on this one plant.
It has a lot of habanero features with the body an knurlness, but the pod length is noticebly longer. Hotter than the Habs I grow also. the burn on eating it was also more immediate, similar to a Hab.
