An acquaintance gave me some hot peppers from his garden. Can
anyone identify their varieties?

I think the green one is a jalapeno, but I don't know about the
others. The orange one and the little red ones are *VERY* hot.

OK, thanks everybody for the hints. Sounds like there are too many
varieties to be sure, but it looks like the little read ones are Thai
chiles and the orange one is a Habanero. The bigger red one may be a
ripe Jalapeno (I didn't know they got red) but if it is, I bet it's a
slightly different variety than the green one, as it was from a
different plant and the fruit was a little smaller.



The little ones look too blunt to be Thai peppers. I'm pretty sure they
are tabasco peppers. (I have a tabasco plant and those look just like
them) Are they unusually juicy?
