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.

I'm from France, your scotch bonnet theory actually makes a lot of sense. It seems to be the variety grown in the Caribbean (where some french territories are) while habaneros are mostly found in Mexico. Thank you for your comment.
