A few months ago I bought some trinidad scorpion butch t peppers off of ebay. I'm no expert but my peppers do not look anything like what I am seeing online. Any ideas what I got here?

I've haven't the foggiest idea what those are. But those are wicked cool looking pods.

Have you tasted one for heat level?

I tasted one that was damaged but it was still pretty green.

though not always, purple flowers may point to some form of pubescens variety. it's hard to tell on my monitor but is the pod purple or just dark green?

Looks like a Black Scorpion Tongue to me but I could be mistaken.

They are very dark purple. I will try to get a better photo up tonight.

I am gonna have to agree with you on it being a black scorpion tongue.

I just wanted to let everyone know that I have tried to contact the individual that I had purchased these particular seeds from on numerous occasions to no reply. His ebay user name is marjchrs9cnp.

You should find a reputable seed purveyor and you won't have the EBay problems.
