My first mystery pepper, lol

]Hi everyone,
I am a bit stuck here. I traded with a guy at one of the places I work at. He is married to a Spanish lady. He gave me these seeds to a tiny, I mean tiny pepper that he claims is Spanish in origin and it is from his wife's family farm. I have grown it out and here is what I can tell you....

It looks like a Anuum to me
It's hot, about tepin level
Takes about 3-4 weeks to germinate in hot Florida weather

I looked all over for Spanish peppers, but all I come up with is stuff like Piquillo. That I have but looks nothing like it and it is a sweet pepper. Nor is it pimiento de padron.

and they're NOT chiltepins?


I don't think so....???

They are more oblong like a thick grain of rice. Also all of my tepins grow upright. Unless not all true tepins grow upright? These hang over like a chandler almost. Cool as hell and taste great. Not quite a Pequin/tepin flavor.


picture?


I can see my photos. Is there a glitch?
 
This one looks like the one Gary "Windchicken" has. I think they call it penguin pepper. Ask Gary.
