JohnT --

My fatallis from last year and this year are distinctly yellow.  The seed I am
growing this year is the same OP seed from last year's plants that I sent you. 
As a matter of fact, I was surprised last year that there wasn't even a hint of
orange in the pods -- this is especially true when compared to say, a typical
pale orange habanero pod.  If you really have concerns, get some new seed from
the USDA, grow those and compare.  It would be interesting to know for sure.
