I grow several varieties or ornamentals which I sell at the farmers market
as mature potted plants. On of my customer is a florest who uses them in her
arrangments, The Medusa, bolivian rainbow and the Nu-Mex Twilight are some
of the ones used. Also a local supermarket chain sells ornamental pepper
plants in their floral dept.

There are quite a few "ornamental peppers". They are just like other
"Children of El
Grande" and are edible. Without seeing images and dimensions, it's hard to
tell, but
if they were showing those colors at one time, they are probably Capsicum
Annums.
One really fancy one with pods sticking up is Medusa hybrid. Seeds are too
expensive for me to sell them but I would love to be able to.
