I googled for this without any success.

I bought something labeled Anaheim. The one thing I am certain of is that it
isn't an Anaheim pepper ... but it might be a WMD and I want to know before
I bite into it.

At present it is a deep green (like a jalapeno), 1"+ globe held upside down
in the crotch of the pepper plant. Creamy white flowers.

What is it?

Links, please, if you have any.

TIA

Sounds like it might be a Red Hot Cherry Bomb pepper. Here is a link

I don't think they are as hot as they sound. Try cutting the hymen(white
part holding the seeds) out, that will remove most of the heat and then work
from there...

Go to www.chileplants.com and click on "advanced search".
I would suggest searching on "pod type" and looking under
the cherry pod types first. If that doesn't look right, try some
of the others. Where did you buy it? Is it worth going back
and seeing what other varieties the store had on hand. I mean,
it might give you a clue. Big Box stores like Lowe's or Wal Mart
aren't likely to have anything really exotic in the way of a
pepper, so that would narrow your choices.

If you can't figure out what it is, try cutting one open and
sniffing it. You should be able to smell if it's hot or sweet, at
least.

The "Cherry, large red" somewhat resembles what I have. However, the photo
is indistinct about its growing habits so I can't be certain.

Okay ... change the description. Now it's more nearly 2" diameter. The
little blighter is growing like mad!

I didn't find anything on the links (thanks, Pam & Milt) that I recognize.
The unique trait, so nearly as I can tell, is that it grows upside down
(flower end upwards) in a crotch of the plant ... every pepper that has set
is in this location.

Otay ... found it. My mild red pepper (Anaheim) is actually a hot Aji
Cereza. Except that mine is already 1 1/4" long by 2" wide and still green.
