Typing a plant by its flowers

My Cereza cross is starting to develop flowers.  Does this flower that just opened up give any clue as to what species it may be?
 
 
 
Cool - This confirms my suspicion that this is an Aji Cereza x Bode amarela cross, as the Bode was the only Chinense in my garden last year.

This should be an interesting cross. Both peppers have small round pods. The Aji Cereza is between 80,000 and 100,000 SHU and sweet like Sugar. The Bode amarela has a delicious concentrated yellow Pepper flavor, but no very hot - I estimate between 5,000 and 10,000 SHU.
