Pepper - Bolivian Rainbow - Very hot - Purple -> Yellow -> Orange -> Red 
From www.tomatogrowers.com: A beautiful ornamental pepper with purple foliage and flowers, it bears a profusion of fruit in a rainbow of colors on 2 to 3 ft. tall plants. The small cone-shaped, 1 in. fruit starts out purple, but turns to yellow to orange, and finally to red, with all color stages on the plant at once. Very hot peppers are edible, but are mainly grown for their striking appearance.
80 days.
Pepper - Caribbean Red- Very hot -Red 
From www.tomatogrowers.com: Seed for this habanero variety was found in the Caribbean, and then improved, resulting in a uniform, fiercely hot pepper that is way hotter than the regular orange habanero. Dried samples of Caribbean Red measured 445,000 Scoville units whereas regular habanero tested at about 260,000 Scovilles. This pepper must be used carefully, but is wonderful for salsas, marinades, and making your own hot sauce. Bright red, wrinkled fruits are about 1-1/2 inches deep and 1 inch wide and have flavor with fruity overtones.
110 days to red.
 
 
 
Pepper - Chocolate Beauty - Sweet - Brown (Hybrid)
From www.tomatogrowers.com: Incredibly sweet and delicious, medium-large, 3 or 4-lobed bell peppers mature from green to an attractive chocolate color. Eat them at the fully ripe stage and you'll know that they're something special. Plants are tobacco mosaic virus resistant.
 
67 days to green, 85-88 days to chocolate
 


Pepper - Fatalii - Very hot - Yellow
From www.tomatogrowers.com: Fiery hot, wrinkled yellow peppers are related to habanero, and are at least as hot if not hotter. The searing heat has an excellent, citrus-like flavor that can be appreciated in the seconds before the heat sets in. Originally from Africa, these plants become 3 to 4 feet tall, maturing abundant crops of fruit earlier than plants of habanero. Peppers are 2 to 3 inches long with a wide top that tapers down to a point, and are shriveled all over.

Peppers begin as light green then turn to golden-orange and are loaded onto 36 inch tall plants. Thrives best in warm southern climates.

Pepper - Lemon - Hot - Yellow (Heirloom)
From www.burpee.com: Customer Favorite
From Ecuador, as hot as any Cayenne, but with a truly unique flavor.
This pepper from the markets of Ecuador ripens to a pure lemon yellow in about 80 days,
but is delightfully flavorful when green.
The skin is tender and the aroma is spicy, with a hint of pine woods. Best used fresh, but sensational in sauces too.
The fruits are narrow, 3-4" long and distinctively wrinkled..

Pepper - Red Knight X3R - Sweet - Scarlet Red (Hybrid)

Pepper - Red Peter - Hot - Red (Heirloom)
