Wonder if you grew Habaneros? Those (aka "Scotch bonnets") are one of

Not trying to be a pepper snob, but habaneros and scotch bonnets
aren't the same pepper, even though they are called the same in a lot
of places. They're very closely related and similarly hot, but hail
from different regions.

Try this site to see the slight difference in shape:

Thanks. :-) Habaneros = Scotch Bonetts was a "mom-ism".
