Labeled Scotch Bonnet

[Mojappa]

Bought from the nursery labeled as a scotch bonnet. Most pictures of bonnets I find show them to be much more wrinkly and oddly shaped.
 
can get more shots of it this evening if needed

Not necessarily .... some bonnets are elongated, wrinkly, bumpy, flat and pear shaped but those pods in your photograph have a good bonnet shape ... it will be the heat and taste that will be the deciding factor

Thanks. i pulled a yellow one off last week, tasted like it was trying to be hot but not what i would expect a bonnet to be. Granted we've had lots and lots of rain so that could make them less hot as i understand it (could be wrong tho)

Like Trident said, bonnet shapes can vary from the classic "ideal" phenotype. I grew yellow bonnets from CARDI seeds that looked like elongated habs, but the yellow bonnet flavor was there in spades. Generally, I would expect them to have habanero class heat and a strong fruity taste. If that doesn't describe your peppers, then yeah I would be suspicious.

Could always be Jamaican Mushroom.

They look a little too round to be Jamaican Mushrooms (JMs). JMs are usually flat on top and somewhat triangular, and are annuums. With all the pods per node, this plant looks like a chinense.

Oh my bad. There wasn't a picture when I replied

This one took forever to start ripening, has weird streaks on it, this one still good?
