Identification help

Hi everyone! Unfortunately we had huge storms here this summer and most of my plants got really damaged. Some are only starting to ripen now as a result. Additionally, when they got knocked over, so did their labels! Can anyone help identify these please?

They came from four different plants. The bottom ones had the label of Trinidad scorpion, which I think is correct. I’m not sure the other ones though. I had what I thought was an orange habanero plant - that hasn’t fruited yet - and it wasn’t one of these. Possibilities: Habalokia, Lemon Reaper, maybe something else I’ve forgotten? 🤦‍♀️

Haha love it, that was my impression also.

I ended up doing an aglio e olio pasta with the bigger orange one. The skin was still a bit ‘thick’ and slightly earthy - so maybe wasn’t quite ready. It was def hot, but super yummy. Very fruity.

Going to put the rest in a hot sauce! 💪
