Can somebody help identify this pepper

DevilsEyes

These should be mini bell yellow peppers, but I've never seen bell peppers grow upward like these do.
The pods look a bit like mini bell's though.
Does anybody have an idea what this plant would be? Or is it some kind hybrid between
a bell pepper and something else?
The flowers start  pointing downward, but as soon as the pods are becoming a bit larger they point upward
And no I'm not holding the plant upside down :rofl:
 
here are the pictures, any help is welcome

We will see what those will become (maybe a bell pepper cross with a hot species, who knows..) Will keep it updated here
about coloration (they should be yellow mini bells) and taste (if they got a bit of a kick to them :)  ).
 
Chimay Grand Reserve RULES!! My 2 favourites are Grimbergen blond and Duvel, followed by Chimay!!
Nice to know there are some Belgian beer lovers here too!!

My bell pepper I grew this year had peppers growing at all angles, however as they grew in size they would eventually droop.... except for the first pepper :rolleyes: this one grew upside down from the 'V' in the central stem.

Well, these are mini-bells and the pod-stems are really thick, so I guess they wont droop :) will post some more pics later today or tomorrow.

I had a Mexi Bell pepper that grew like that. As the pepper grew heavier it would sag a little but it would never grow downwards.

Going to look the mexi bells up on the net when I have some spare time, will let u know if they are the same.
Offcourse I still need to wait till they are fully mature to be able to fully identify them (they should be yellow ones)
Thanks for the good tip!

If it's a Mexi Bell, it probably will get to the size of a golf ball or bigger and it will not be very hot. The one plant I had started producing in the spring and that was what the peppers looked like.
As summer kicked in here in Florida, the peppers we're noticeably smaller and hotter. The ones I would pick in August would have a Cayanne heat level. The plant barely survived the heat here so I never planted it agian.
I'm guessing in Belgium, it will grow more like mine did in the spring.

As a side note, I took some of the summer ones to a party one time and we cut them in half and used them in place of limes in Coronas. Everyone that tried it liked them because it added a hint of heat and a fruity taste.
