Has anyone else grown this pepper?  Seeds were from the USDA .

http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/acc_search.pl?accid=PI+590503&inactive=Yes

Erect, woody shrub, 1.2m tall. Flowers purple. Fruits green, yellow, then red, to 5cm long, irregularly ovate, thick flesh, black seeds, pungent flavor.

I'm getting a yellow mature pod on one plant and a red on the other.  Both plant's pods are distinctive.  

Here is a pic of the red pods:

And of the yellow pods:

The blossoms on both plants look identical.  I only have one picture of the red pod plant's blossom:

I'm curious as to what others may have experienced re pod color & shape.
