Not Jalapinos.
Top looks like a cherry pepper (Cherry bomb,hot cherry or some kind of paprika).
Can't think of the name of the bottom pepper right now though some pepperoncini grow like that but I think it's something else.
What is the heat level-sweet-med. hot....

I had a pepper with a round pod on it this spring that was totaly different than the regular shape of pods the plant should make-a mutation.Plant was sick from being put out in bad weather,We had 80 degree days for a week then all of a sudden cold days that messed it up.

I know what you have , I just can't think of it right now.
On the tip of my tongue,can't spit it out.... :)

Looks like two types of peppers. But likely the red pepper on top is one that was stunted. They are not jalapenos or at least I have never heard of a lobed jalapeno and those peppers do have lobes. Mabey someone can correct me. Don't recognize the peppers though.

you look like you have two different plants. Your initial post sounds like you have one plant.

The "red ball thing" is a Cherry Pepper. Usually jalapeno level heat and a real sweetness. It is red because it is ripe. All peppers turn from green to red,yellow,orange,etc when ripe and taste much better than when green.

The other pepper looks like some sort of italian roasting pepper or cubanelle, usually mild and excellent roasted on the grill. Let them ripen completely also.

Smokemaster 2007,

Ok, I cut off a pepper and tasted it. When I cut it open, it looks like a jalapeno, but it has a very very mild flavor. Sort of tastes like a jalapeno but is more sweet and greeny like a leaf.

Kendra,

Both of them are on the same plant. The red Cherry pepper is at the top while the green peppers are below it.

Sorry, but I am not too much of a garden person, and when my friend offered me a jalapeno plant, I though, well ok, what the heck...
