We are going to seed these and see what we get. They are fairly hot from my taste. I think these are Fresno Peppers in the range of 2,500 to 10,000 on the Scoville scale - relatively mild!
In 1912 Wilbur Scoville, a scientist developed a test called the “Scoville Organoleptic Test” which is used to measure a chili pepper’s pungency and heat.
Originally, Scoville ground up peppers and mixed them with sugar water, then tested them with a panel of tasters who sipped from these sugar-water-pepper solutions.
He would then dilute the solutions bit by bit until they no longer burned the tongues of the tasters, after which he would assign a number to the chili pepper based on the number of dilutions needed to kill the heat.
The measurements are divided into multiples of 100. Note that 1 part per 1,000,000 dilutions of water is rated at 1.5 Scoville Units. Pure capsaicin, the stuff that makes chili peppers hot, is rated between 15 – 16,000,000 Scoville heat units.
The above has been paraphrased from www.chilipeppermadness.com.

Scotch Bonnet Chilli Peppers - amongst the hottest peppers on the planet, with a rating of 350,000 on the Scoville Scale. There are still some chillies which are hotter though!

My entry for No.105 - Hot, in 111 in 2011. (Coincidentally my 105th upload to the group ... 6 more to go!)
Below is a macro of the peppers with no texture added.

After breakfast at the Kolache Factory on Saturday, September 10, 2016, Mike and I headed to Central Market (4001 N. Lamar Blvd.) to do some grocery shopping. As we made our way through the produce section, I paused to photograph this colorful display of peppers and the store's cartoon illustrations of the Scoville Scale, which shows just how hot each type of pepper is...

And I remember #dabomb beyond insanity from 10 years ago (early 2000's) having wings at a local #crabbyjoes and tearing up from the heat. I've come a long way up the #scovillescale. #lovetheburn #hotsauce

"The Hottest Model I've Ever Photographed"
How hot, you ask? Well, she comes in at a blazing 1.2 million..........on the Scoville Scale. Sure, we may be talking Scoville Heat Units (SHU), but that is bloody hot. How hot is 1.2 million? Well, for comparison, a pathetic jalapeno comes in at a cool 2,500. Makes you think, huh? So, especially considering the times in which we live, I am always apprehensive to touch a model. However, in this case, I used rubber gloves.....for everyone's protection. Have you ever inadvertently rubbed your eyes or used the facilities after touching a pepper like this? I have......please don't do it. Our subject is currently chilling inside a dehydrator. As for the lighting, there is a gridded strobe at about 10 o'clock, delivering the hard shadow. I initially shot the portrait with a ringflash around the lens, but I went with the off-camera light in the end. Thanks for stopping by!!

"Wilbur"
One of my latest hobbies is raising chili peppers.....the hot ones. The little unassuming pepper at the left is currently the hottest chili pepper in the world. As for the lighting, our key light is a very large Octa box at camera-left, feathered away from the black background. I then used a piece of white bounce board to....bounce a little light into the camera-right side of the peppers. Because of the old Inverse Square Law, that silly jalapeño went rather dark. I was shooting from above, and the peppers are resting on a piece of black Plexiglass. Oh, Wilbur Scoville was the man who came up with the system of rating chili pepper piquancy (spiciness). If your mouth is not watering......you don't have salivary glands. Thanks for stopping by!!

If you buy some little peppers "just because they look cuuuute", make sure you check how hot they are before you use them in any recipe.
"Most Scotch Bonnets have a heat rating of 100,000–350,000 Scoville Units.[3] For comparison, most jalapeño peppers have a heat rating of 2,500 to 8,000 on the Scoville scale."
