Hello all!
I gardened at a community garden this summer, and after the last day, gardeners are allowed to pick from plots that were abandoned. I collected several peppers, but many do not have names. I'd like to save seeds from a few if I can figure out what they are. I know they may not come true, as peppers cross quite easily, but I'd still like to know what I have. I plan on dehydrating everything, and it would be great to know what they are so I can look up recipes to use them in! I know that several of these are a long shot to ID, but maybe someone out there recognizes some of these like the back of their hand. I am happy to share seeds with anyone who helps out. Thanks so much!
1. I know that these are Cayenne peppers, most likely common. But, maybe the length will tell something different? Not sure!

2. It kind of looks like a cayenne... but I don't think it is. What a weird shape!
{{gwi:355747}}{{gwi:355748}}
3. No idea:
{{gwi:355749}}{{gwi:355750}}
4. {{gwi:355751}}{{gwi:355752}}
5. {{gwi:355753}}{{gwi:355754}}
6. Looks similar to 5, but is much smaller, and is a little different, not sure!
{{gwi:355757}}{{gwi:355759}}
7. Didn't know if this was even worth posting, because there are a zillion red bells. Here it is anyways:
{{gwi:355760}}{{gwi:355761}}{{gwi:355762}}
8. Super tiny pepper. Only one was left on the plant when harvesting! I have a lot of tiny peppers, but none shaped like this:
{{gwi:355763}}{{gwi:355764}}
9. An orange Cayenne?
{{gwi:355765}}{{gwi:355766}}
10. Orange Bhut Jolokia? I have red bhut jolokias, but haven't seen orange.
{{gwi:355767}}
(Here are red bhut jolokias for comparison)
{{gwi:355768}}
11. The plant I harvested these habaneros off of were all super small. Is it just a regular orange habanero, or are there varieties that produce only very small ones?
{{gwi:355769}}{{gwi:355770}}
12. Yellow habaneros?
{{gwi:355771}}{{gwi:355772}}{{gwi:355773}}
13. Some kind of banana pepper?
{{gwi:355774}}{{gwi:355775}}
14. A fatter banana? No idea.
{{gwi:355776}}{{gwi:355777}}
15. A large pepper!
{{gwi:355778}}{{gwi:355779}}
16. {{gwi:355780}}{{gwi:355781}}
17. {{gwi:355782}}{{gwi:355783}}
18. My best guess is California Wonder. Thoughts?
{{gwi:355784}}{{gwi:355785}}
19. Can't tell if this is a poblano, a bell pepper or what!
{{gwi:355787}}{{gwi:355789}}
20. A nice red bell pepper (I know these are a long shot)
{{gwi:355790}}{{gwi:355792}}
21. I thought this was an odd shade of green. It appears to be turning slightly orange or red.
{{gwi:355793}}{{gwi:355794}}{{gwi:355795}}
22. Please tell me I have peach bhut jolokias here!
{{gwi:355796}}{{gwi:355797}}
23. A smooth habanero? Have never seen them before. I think it might be an easy variety to ID though.
{{gwi:355798}}{{gwi:355800}}
24. I am not sure if these are all from the same plant. The one on the top left looks kind of like a tomato!
{{gwi:355801}}{{gwi:355802}}{{gwi:355803}}
25. I thought this was truly bizarre. There were several plants next to each other, and every single pepper was severely stressed. Is this a trait of a certain variety? I thought they looked amazing! I have never seen so many peppers with all of the same stress.
{{gwi:355804}}{{gwi:355805}}{{gwi:355806}}{{gwi:355807}}
26. I believe these are all from the same plant, but I could be wrong:
{{gwi:355808}}{{gwi:355809}}
27. May or may not be from the same plant. ahh!
{{gwi:355810}}{{gwi:355811}}
28. {{gwi:355812}}{{gwi:355813}}
29. {{gwi:355814}}
30. A certain type of habanero? These all had some sort of point.
{{gwi:355815}}{{gwi:355816}}{{gwi:355817}}
31. All of these habaneros, or whatever they are, didn't have a point, so I separated them.
{{gwi:355819}}{{gwi:355821}}{{gwi:355823}}
32. {{gwi:355825}}{{gwi:355827}}
33. {{gwi:355828}}{{gwi:355829}}
34. {{gwi:355831}}{{gwi:355832}}
35. I think the middle 2 look different than the outer two.
