I bought an "ornimental pepper plant" that I am trying to identify.?

The plant was only labeled as an "ornimental pepper plant". What is the best way for me to identify the plant? I would like to know if the peppers are actually edible.





I am looking for either a good site or method to identify the plant or perhaps an identification from the description:





The peppers are orange in color, about an inch or two in length and taper to a point. The leaves of the plant are a dark green and about the size of the peppers also with a tapered end.





Any ideas?

If they're true peppers (Capsicum), they're edible, but they may be hotter than... well... hot. Or they may not taste particularly good.





An example of an ornamental pepper that also tastes good (at least in very small quantities; it's pretty warm!) http://www.gardennj.com/thai_hot_pepper....








I would not eat these particular peppers if they came from a non-organic grower; when sold as "ornamentals", they may have been treated with pesticides not allowed on food crops.

Reply:They are edible. I have one that has produced quite a few peppers. I was disappointed because I thought it was a jalapeno pepper but it was not. These have little flavor but are attractive to add to a salad or soup.
Reply:They are edible, but most of them don't have much flavor, and are very very hot.





That being said, even if you like hot peppers, I highly recommend growing the kind of hot peppers you like to eat. "Ornamental" peppers, being grown and sold for ornamental plants, rather than food plants...whow knows WHAT the commercial growers used on them in the way of pesticides %26amp; such.





But anyway, this site has a lot of pics of those kinds of peppers, and their names. Hopefully, you'll see yours in the list:
