Are these chillie peppers?

The leaves, flower and fruit all look like my pepper plants, although mine are a diffrent variety (thai red fogo) so they are much more slender. Wait until they're ripe and cut one open, a smell of the inside and the little white pepper seeds alone should tell you that they are indeed peppers. I would just eat one and see how it tastes. I don't think it could be anything dangerous or inedible, but you might burn your ass off if they turn out to be habaneros

Thanks guys. I'm thinking they are probably some hot peppers. The last two tenants here were Vietnamese. I don't mean to profile but I've had some hot Asian peppers! The closest pick I could find a similarity to is this one with the "Tepin Texas" label. The site doesn't give much info though.

Here's the site I got the pic from.

If these are some good peppers then I suppose I lucked out!

That last photo looks like eyes on a bug that I don't want to meet.

Bring a clipping by a Vietnamese restaurant or grocery store and ask them.

It is believed that peppers that grow upward vs downward are said to be hotter than others. If I had to guess... they are "birds eye" peppers and they WILL light your ass up.

The up/down thing is a myth. Dorset naga & bhut jolokia are the two hottest peppers in the world, 100x hotter than habenero, and all three of them grow down. Peruvian purples, grow upward and are almost totally devoid of any heat, they just look neat. That being said, there are a number of very popular varieties of hot peppers that do grow vertically, so I can see how that fallacy could get started.

I tend to agree with you that they do appear to be birds eyes, just trying to figure out which ones though, hence why the extra questions for Mario in my previous post.
