Is that what Lemon Drop does as I never had one plant germinate before this one and I have no idea. It looks like Lemon Drop (it has that wrinkly look). I am not growing any other chile that has a wrinkled appearance."
Risa,
I bought my seeds from Beth at http://www.bayoutraders.com (who answered you earlier) and the only thing close to resembling Lemon Drop in my garden is Aji Limon. I'm only growing two plants of LD and they are both beauties with lots & lots of pods. Below are some pix of my plants that you could use for comparison.
All pictures have a large file first and then the same picture as a smaller file for the dial-up fans.

My first year for Fish. Thought it would never blossom, but now am kinda close to having ripe pods. Supposed to go well with fish & I hope so as am a fish eater.
My first ever year for growing C. baccatum and I'm already a big fan. Aji Colorado is a good one too.
