Useful List of Chiles by Heat Level

Well, now that you mention it, I had to search around to find Serrano, and I was surprised how hot they rated it. Seems like it's not too accurate.
 
Her scale is probably to her own taste I would assume.  Not something most of us can generally go by.  I stopped by her greenhouse last year as I was driving through Bloomington, IN in May.  Pretty nice to see a place with just thousands of pepper plants.  I was a little surprise how late she starts though.  It was mid May and the plants were only like 2 or 3".  I did buy a few and they grew true and healthy.  Even though small they caught up with the others and at the end of the year the Brazilian Starfish I picked up was my tallest plant by far at over 7'.

I haven't gone on in awhile. I guess you could say I've been busy. Looking great!! BTW, feel free to pull any photos from my glog to replace any you have on there with watermarks or whatnot. Keep it up!
