This plant was supposed to be habanada, I've grown it from seed. The pods are different than my real habanadas – walls are thicker, they ripen to right red color and there is heat, about half or third of habanero heat. Flavor is classic chinense – floral and fruity, similar to habanero, maybe bit less intense.
Mature pods are 8 cm (little more than 3 inches) in length.
Whats interesting, their distinctive feature is that each fruit has a kind of round indentation in the middle on both sides. When you look at the pepper horizontally, it resembles an eye.
Is this any known variety, or maybe a cross of something?

I have no idea but looks very interesting! I would have guessed something crossed with ghost but I’ve also never heard of habanada so 🤷♂️
Beautiful peppers though!
Hot paper lantern?
Nothing really important to say like an actual chilli derivative coz im not good enough yet… but, they do look good indeed.
Paper lanterns forsure. Are the leaves a little fuzzy? That’s the dead giveaway.
