SBS Purple Ornamental pods

I was very fortunate to receive some seeds last year from Stockmaster for this SBS Purple Ornamental.
 

 
What is going on with these pods, at the base of the pod/stem?

I had a couple thai dragon berries that had funky petal like growths like that.  I just chalked it up to how sometimes you get the mutant twin inside the chili, maybe the birds eye types are so small it forces the symbiotic twin to grow on the outside.
