35 peppers to name! (Pictures Galore!)

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.

(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.
