Bolivian Rainbow?

I had one similar to that but had white centres, purple border in the flowers, beautiful plant.

It is a close match for Purple Robe.

I grew something similar to that about 5 years ago.

It was my first experience seeing a pepper plant with purple flowers and purple pods as starter. I got the seeds from a florist friend who was using the branches in floral arrangement.

The pod size was just like birds eye, not as short and fat, as I see in the picture above. I never figured out what the name was.

If the leaves have a white marbled color it is probably a calico. Pretty plant, pods are on the warm side of the scale. Though they don't have any flavor. I use them when I want to add heat without changing flavor of a dish.

It looks like a Black Cuban.

You can find it on the page linked below. Click the image for an enlarged shot.

FWIW,

Here is a link that might be useful: Black Cuban

The Black Cuban papers to be the closest if not the one.

It looks more like my bolivian rainbow than black cuban. Here's a photo of my black cuban. My black cuban the leaves are much blacker and the fruit is black, not purple or dark purple. Nevermind, my bolivian rainbow has more colors of fruit, but the leaves look more like my bolivian rainbow... but, I think Bill is right, black cuban.

Could be a Black Prince too.

Siouxzn, you could be right. I'm not sure I could distinguish a Prince from a Cuban based on the Black Prince photos I've seen.

Probably the same plant with a different name. Marketing, ugggg.

It looks like it might be Numex Centennial or possibly Chines 5 color

I have a couple bolivian rainbows growing and mine look like this
Pods are slightly different shaped. They haven't started changing colors yet, plant just started producing

It sort of looks like a Peruvian Purple, too... I grew one of those about 3 years ago and it looked just like that, went from dark purple directly to red, and was medium hot with very little flavor. The peppers were about as big as the first joint on my thumb...
