Need help identifying peppers.

[FLPepperhead]

I bought some Carolina Reaper seeds from an Ebay seller with a great feedback rating in hope of getting actual reapers but none of the peppers has the tail like a Reaper and they all look different. I was thinking that the fruits of 2 plants look like Trinidad Muruga Scorpion and one looks like a Komodo Dragon or Ghost..
Could also be some variety of 7 Pot? The last pic even looks like a Pepper X.
Not sure.. any help would be appreciated..

Sorry, no help with eBay off pheno pods. But I'll try on the sideways pix.
 
It is the stored EXIF Data that causes this.

Even if you don't have an iPhone (And this article talks about email orientation.), this is helpful, Why iPhone pictures flip when emailed, and how to fix it and LifeWire-How to Fix a Digital Photo Turned Sideways(Rotate pictures that display sideways online)

Our intrepid leader posted this helpful hint.
 

If you edit the pic before uploading it will upload correctly. Editing it "saves" the orientation instead of using native, which would be the way you held the phone. Really it is uploading correctly, but other sites like FB have better software that read the orientation EXIF.

I'm actually using  Samsung Galaxy Note 9.. so I'm not sure if the same applies to Android?

2nd try..
The first 2 and last 2 are 2 of the same plant each.

 

[willard3]

The growth is annuum.

Perfect! Great job!
 
The WIKI-Carolina Reaper has been around for some time and back yard growers are not known for good growing practices to keep plants from cross-breeding. 

 

[FLPepperhead]

The growth is annuum.

 
Interesting.. I have never seen peppers of similar shapes like those as fruits of annuum plants.. Those are usually off chinense peppers..

 

[FLPepperhead]

Did a closeup of one flower.. Definitely Chinense

Along with flower (White anthers indicative of C. annuum/Blue anthers indicative of C. chinense) fruit per node and consistent constricted calyx  needed.
 
 

 

 
Then I guess you don't need any other help?

Well, I do need help.. I just looked up reference pics of annuum and chinense and the example of the annuum didn't have any blue/purple type color.. Maybe a bad reference that I got.

First off, I can't tell what color the anthers you have from your pic.....
 

 
 
 
I do have this reference pic from the web..Note color in flower B?..
 
 

What about fruit per node?
 

 

Hey CD - Any help for OP?

I'll take a video of the plants and tomorrow morning.. I try to get some good close ups of the flowers.
The weird thing is that if they are really annuum, I looked at many different sites and I can't find any annuum peppers that are similar in shape and texture except for the one elongated pepper which seems different from the others. They all came from the same seeds which is weird..

Hey NECM.  Maybe.  Better pics for some, especially the plant in pic 3 of post 5 would help.  This one raises the most question in my mind.
 
The original pictures suggest attributes of Annuum, as it appears there's only 1 fruit per node and some appear to lack an annular constriction, but I don't think this is really the case.  I suspect it's simply a trick of the photos and most if not all are Chinense.
 
For plant species ID, I suggest (1) a picture of the overall plant; (2) a downward picture of the calyx from above; (3) a front-on flower picture (just like the post 9 picture which is clearly a Chinense flower with purple anthers and an off-white flower); and (4) a picture of flowering nodes show multiple or singular flowers. Flower drop can make it look like there's only one when they're are actually multiple, so scan the plant for nodes with multiple before concluding otherwise.  Look for circular detachment scars in the nodes where flowers dropped too.  
 
 As far as whether they're reaper or not, I've seen some that kinda look like the first one, but the rest definitely don't look right to me. My guess is they're just various OP superhots, but that's probably not a total loss.  I bet they're hot and hopefully they taste ok.   Lots of eBay type sellers have great ratings because people rate them when they receive the seeds, not a year later when they find out whether they grew true to type.

They look hot..

While I can't speak for Willard........

The growth is annuum.

I too noticed ALL pix show single fruit per node and still waiting for OP .......

Original fotos of fruit looks like a single fruit per node. I didn't blow them up.

The plants that currently have flowers have multiple flowers per node but haven't seen multiple fruit..
