    Orangey-red ghost peppers. Picked before they fully turned I imagine because that shade isn’y one I see a lot. Still look good though, still gonna be hot.

    Bih Jolokia x Sugar Rush Peach looks like this

    Could be a variety of scorpion like that label says. They have the same shape as my leviathan scorpions but the color is wrong to be that.

    Not Scorpions but given their form, expect comparable heat.

    Probably Bhut Jolokia / Ghosts. The only question is whether this is the orange variant or something like the red variant that isn’t ripe yet. I’m not sure what would be more likely for a store-bought pack. I think some store suppliers pick super early? Not just peppers but fruits and veggies, in general?

    Ghosts that are not fully ripened to a full red

    I’ve seen similar packaged peppers at Walmart labelled scorpion. Questionable considering the limited heat and the obvious appearance.

    They look like bhut jolokia ghost peppers mate.

    Definitely looks to have some strong Bhut genetics.

    They look similar in shape to my leviathan scorpions. Mine are a darker red though

    Definitely ghosts. Scorpions look nothing like ghosts.
