Hi, I'm very proud of this first harvest from 3 plants. There are still quite a lot of unripe peppers left. It was my first time growing them starting from seeds, and I'm really happy with the results and everything I learned on the way.

As expected they are pretty spicy. I think they could be habaneros but I'm not sure. I'm interested if anyone has abetter guess. I already posted a picture of the plants a few weeks ago in this community.

Scotch bonnets have a very distinctive shape, and don't really look like what's in the picture. It isn't uncommon to see habaneros mislabeled as bonnets, presumably because they are very similar in heat and somewhat similar in flavor, but they're not really the same.
