plant-i.d. Tiny plant tiny peppers, huge heat

I got this plant at a farmer's market and the person didn't know what it was. The peppers are REALLY hot. I have some experience with spices, but nothing crazy like bonnets or reapers. It is hotter than any peppers I've eaten raw. The plant is 4-6 inches tall and the largest pepper on the plant is less than an inch. The peppers are red when ripe and a pale green when starting. Any help is appreciated! Thanks:)

No problem. Thats a tough one (for me at least). Theres alot of ornamentals that look like that. Im sure someone here will have a better idea of what it might be. Cool little plant though

That looks to me like one of the many dwarf ornamental annuum varieties out there. Something along the lines of a NuMex Christmas, for example. Impossible for me to try and guess the specific variety though, as there are quite a few ornamental varieties that look like that. But as a group they tend to to be attractive little plants, and do well in containers.
