Okay, do some explaining for me 
Are those different plants or all colors on one plant?
Are they edible or ornamental?
If they are edible are they hot or easy for us wimps to handle?
Where did you get the plant(s)? Those are really pretty.

The first one is called Bolivian Rainbow and yes they are all different colors. They are ornamental but if you like hot you can eat them. I slice a few and put in a BIG pot-o-chili yummmmmm!! The next pic is of Peruvian Purple but when ripe they turn red and yes they are decorative also and hot and the last pick is one called NuMex Primavera and its a lil warm. Need seeds?

Oh I want, I really, really want!!! My husband and youngest son love hot peppers so I must be on the look out for some of those fantastic plants that you have PepperDude.  I hate pepeers, even sweet ones, as they upset my stomach but I think they are just sooooo pretty.

Very nice looking peppers! Easy on the eyes and very ornamental too. I seen those in the catalog i order from, but i didn't order them. I'll have to try them next yr.

Lovely peppers , just the thought of searing hot chilly makes my juices run amok .
I had a lovely bush with multicolored chillies as well but my 'not so green ' thumb ensured that I no longer have it .

That Bolivian Rainbow is so pretty. I love when it has all the different color stages on one plant. The Primavera has a nice shape to it. Kinda reminds me of a Striped (Speckeled) Roman tomato because of the stripes. All the plants look great!
