I dunno really! I grew them from dried chilies I got from the  
supermarket... tiny ones. I think they might be Thain Ornamental?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thai_pepper

The more decorative but slightly less pungent variety, sometimes known  
as Thai Ornamental, has peppers that point upward on the plant, and go  
from green to yellow, orange, and then red. It is the basis for the  
hybrid Numex twilight, essentially the same but less pungent and  
starting with purple fruit, creating a rainbow effect, and among the  
group ofcapsicum annuum. These peppers can grow wild in places like  
Saipan. Despite their size, these tiny peppers pack a potent punch. A  
window-box can provide a perfect environment for this particular  
plant; low maintenance, high yield, diabolically hot peppers that  
produce for months on a single, tiny plant that never gets taller than  
18".
