What did I grow?!?

[Dritchie84]

So I bought seeds for the reaper, btr scorpion and tazmanian habanero... labels fell off my plants early on. My peppers look nothing like what i listed but they are probably one of the hottest Ive ever tried. They look cute but pack a serious punch. Anyone have any idea what they are?

Heres the plant itself.

 

[Hawaiianero]

looks like red hab

How do they taste?

 

[Dritchie84]

Taste wise they are a bit sweet, not your typical hab which I would consider a tad bitter

Red savina hab

Seeing as it's really hot, it could also be 'Red Caribbean'. "The Complete Chile Pepper Book" by Dewitt and Bosland, describes it as: 
"...400,000 SHU ... Plants produce heavy yields of slightly wrinkled pods, 1 3/4 inches long by 2 inches wide. Pods turn from a light green to bright glossy red when mature and have the same distinct flavor as the habanero" 
 
Although the Red Savina was reported as being as hot as 577k SHU, it only averages 250k SHU, which is not that much more than the typical orange habanero at 200k SHU.
 

 
But yours do look a little bit more pointy -- so maybe Red Savina after all? 
 
Hard to say

They are significantly hotter than the orange habaneros I grew.

Maybe this pepper helps....looks different than the rest.

I have the same book and although it is a nice reference, I've found that a lot of it is outdated. Good reading though.

Yeah, though I feel as it's a foundation for a beginner like myself. I'm not sure how much has changed, but I've got the 2014 edition, so hopefully they've made some updates since 2009.

Those are some kinda red Habs.  In my experience, a lot of the reds will be hotter than the regular orange ones.  Also, in my experience, most Habs are more sweet than they are bitter, but the floral flavors tend to dominate.  The shape is off from what you would expect from Tasmanian Habs, but i suspect that the seeeds labelled as Tas Habs were the ones that gave you these pods.
 
Did your other plants grow out to be BTRs and Reapers?

Im waiting to find out....since I brought them inside theyre growing like crazy....im as curious as ever to see what I get!
