:welcome:

Your pods from this year look like some kind of red Habanero, while the ones from last year have more of a Moruga or other Scorpion shape to my eyes. Very hard to specify a variety though, since those are both fairly common chinense phenotypes. Neither is really what I would expect from a Reaper, though. Since you say you grew this year's pods from last year's seeds, I am thinking that there could be an accidental cross involved. Either the bees cross-pollinated them in your garden last year, or the original seeds were already crossed when you got them. That is why it is best to get your seeds from a trustworthy source. So my opinion is no, those are likely not Reapers. But that is just my opinion.
 
Many thanks for this explanation. Sure will help me.
BTW, can you recommended from where i can ordered good organic seeds as in my region no way to found?
Thanks.
