favorite What do you think is the prettiest pepper?

Looks only, both pepper and plant. I'd say of the varieties I know of, Fish peppers are the prettiest but I want to see what everyone considers a good looking aesthetically pleasing pepper!
 
Toss up between the plants combining variegation with anthocyanin, like Jigsaw, Bellingrath Gardens, and Scarlett’s Chilli, and the better examples of rainbow-ripening peppers.

Jigsaw (mine from last year):

“Bolivian Rainbow” (many forms trade by this name, but to my chagrin Juuka’s is prettiest; this is his photo):

How were the pods @thoroughburro ?

Not very tasty, in my grow… pretty bad actually. But it was nonetheless a standout, and I had many compliments from strangers — put it where it can be seen. 😊

Edit: I should note, my Jigsaw was from the Chile Pepper Institute, and had notably smaller pods than in the Baker Creek photo, so maybe those will be more usable.
