There is no way this is a habanero....

Plant purchased as a orange habanero. Took a long time to start putting on pods, but now has almost 100 on it of various shapes and sizes. None of them look remotely close to habs I have seen. Take a look:

What do you guys think?

Did you buy it as a Bonnies World Hottest? Its possibly a Fatalii.

Yes, I did. I was thinking fatali myself, but being a first time grower, I thought I would come here and ask.

Everybody else thinking fatalii?

 

[POTAWIE]

Fatalii like but there are several others that are very similar looking, and its even possible you have a hybrid/cross

 

[Hammerfall]

red hot paper lantern?

I had this happen to me, as well. I got an "Orange Habanero" from Lowe's a few months back, and here recently it's finally began blooming. Though, much like you, I've noticed the fruits look more like Bhuts or Fatallis than a normal ol' Habanero. I'll get some pics here at some point, but it's pretty spot on with your's.

Everyone of these I read about makes me smile more. After reading the first two threads about these Bonnie plants, I picked one up from Home Depot. Mine is just starting to flower. Wondering if these "hab" fataliis make it out to California. We'll see.

Now it's like Christmas as I too bought some chili plants from the local Home Depot. Maybe it will sprout the next 'Red Hot Chili Peppers' album??? If it does, I'll rip the thing up by the roots and shove it into my garbage disposal.

 

[Dia Atton]

Your's look very much so like Fatalii's or Bhut's to me.

I'm still waiting to see what my "world's hottest pepper" turns out to be. so far it looks like it's a hab of some sort no Fatalii look but it's still to early to tell for sure they are still pretty small.

 

[MisterBigglesworth]

Nice plant for a first time grower!

 

[FadeToBlack]

If you purchased Orange Habs and end up with Fatali its your lucky day =P

Ha! Was just thinking the same.

It's about time the tables were turned!

It's here in SoCal alright. These are Caribbean reds. Te one on the right looms true. Left is from HD in POWAY

These ones are from Kmart in west Covina

They were in the 6 pack. And disappointed I returned some of them

Consider yourself lucky. This is what Burpee is calling an orange habanero this year:

To be fair, they are turning orange now...

LMAO...

 

[HillBilly Jeff]

Burpee is expensive as hell for seeds too.

 

[Pepperhead]

After a polite e-mail they replaced my seeds with some carribean red habs. We'll see how they grow next year. Those other have some heat to them and they actually look nice in red. I think they are Hungarian wax:

Very nice, Denniz. The bottom pic looks Moruga-ish to me. That would be a total score.

Carbon copy on my orange hab as well. I bought mine at lowes labeled as the "worlds hottest." The pods look exactly like yours. If they are in fact fatalii, this will be the first year in 10 that I do not have an orange hab in my garden.

 

[biscgolf]

plant in the OP also has the pointy fatalii leaves...
