[CH] cross pollination

Hi all,
I am coming out of lurking to ask a question. Please forgive me if I sound
stupid. The excessive rain here in Georgia recently has drowned much of my
garden but two jalapenos plants and two habaneros have survived and are
producing a lot of pods. My question is this: I have noticed some odd shaped
pods on my habs. The pods are shaped like a jalapeno but are the beautiful
orange color of the habs, has the thin walls like a hab, has a heat level
like a hab. Not all of the pods are like that. Most of the pods look like
the typical hab. Is it possible that these "odd pods" are the product of the
plants crossing pollination? If I saved the seeds would they grow? I am just
so curious.
