Mine were orange, like an orange hab. C. baccatum to be sure, at least to my
limited knowledge.
They were more like the "Kellu-Uchu" here,

than the A. amarillo lower on the page. I've grown the aji limon shown here
too. Lives up to the name, very lemony and tasty. Hot too, as were the aji
habeneros, which were, I think, also baccatums.
Hot regards,
Riley
