Is this an anaheim pepper?

They are 1.5 to 3 inches long. Start out pale green, turn yellow, orange, and eventually red.

Looks like another Hot Hungarian Wax to me. The shape, size, color changes and upturned pods are all consistent with HHW.

Oh, I am not positive but Anaheims, along with being much larger are usually green until they ripen. I also believe an Anaheim is very mild. If these are HHW, then they would be hotter but still not real hot but certainly hotter than an Anaheim.

NOT an anaheim. At no time is an anaheim yellow.

Green to red, that's all. Unless they came out with a new world anaheim.

The way you describe the changing of multi colors and the size, maybe cascabella.
