What's this pepper?

I got some seeds at a seed swap and lost the name somewhere down the line. Can anyone help? It's a cayenne type, very slender and upright. They are turning dark purple and will, I was told, go on to red. The plants are distinctive. They look delicate and lacy, shaped like a rounded shrub. The stems are kind of fuzzy. I'm including pictures, but not sure if I'm doing it right. The plants are much bigger now and the plants are putting out quite a bit of fruit. The peppers are very hot. The flowers are white.

My guesses so far: Chili de Arbol, Burning Bush?? I couldn't find pictures of either of these on the web that clearly show the plants, so I'm not sure. Descriptions to Chili de Arbol indicate that the plants should be thick and woody and these aren't - yet, anyway, but maybe they will be? Any help greatly appreciated.

Second attempt...
That's better - even re-sized them :)
 
scoville.....click the "insert image" button and type in the URL where they're stored. I don't think you can just attach them straight from your computer....at least I can't. It'll end up having the
 
Ballzworth - that's what I did. I stored the photos on Picasaweb - maybe that's the problem? I've never used that or tried to post pics on a forum. Working on it - thanks!
 
Welcome to THP ScoSchmo - I have fond memories of Rocky's Pizza in Athens. I used to go to Road Atlanta in the Herschel Walker - "How 'bout them dawgs?" era. Good times. :)

Thanks y'all. Goat Weed seems reasonable to me. I looked around on line at other pics and I'm satisfied that's it. None have turned black, yet but I see streaks. I'm still confused about species. Capsicum pubescens doesn't list Goat's Weed, and I've seen Goat's Weed listed as Capsicum annuum. Here's where classification gets hairy. Sorry - couldn't resist.

Thanks for your help!
 
Goat's Weed is a C. annuum and hairy as well as some others that aren't C. pubescens. AFAIK all pubes are hairy but hairy doesn't always = a pube. ;)
