Hi all,
I received my consignment of fresh chillis from peppers by post, which
included a mixed bag. Trouble is, I have no idea what any of them are. Could
anyone who's good with chilli varieties have a look at:

And let me know what they think they are?

(2) looks like some kind of squash pepper (or whatever they're called), and
4 looks like ripe jalapenos (because of the meshing on the fruit).

Hi Crundy
2 is called Friars Hat and is a 'baccatum'.
3 and 5 are both 'chinense', 3 looks like a habanero and 4 like a scotch bonnet but unsure as to exact varieties.
4 are jalapeno but look like different varieties, but 'annuum'.
1 is also an 'annuum' but I can't be more specific.
6 looks like a 'frutescens' of some description.
Sorry this all sounds a bit vague but there are possibly thousands of different varieties, and sometimes different names for the same variety, and often the fruit looking very similar and the main differences being growth habit and the flowers, or just heat level!
If you want to spend a little time trying to get more exact identification try http://www.thechileman.org/search.php
I hope this has been some help.
Regards
Richard

If you register at Chillisgalore.co.uk they have an identification forum only visible to those who are registered.
1 could be a whippet's tail also known as long john, etc.
6 is probably the hardest to identify, practically all the cultivated chilli species include a variety, or indeed several varities, that is yellow and typically chilli shaped.
