I'm growing some Scotch Bonnet chillies this year and I noticed one weedy seedling looked different from the others.
Most of the other plants have chillies that look like Scotch Bonnets, but the weedy one is very different.
Any ideas please?

I'd googled but not found anything, but it's an exact match-

It's certainly unusual, and by the sound of it not toooooo hot

It seems that it has many common names (from the site above) including -
Hopefully they'll start to colour-up soon.
I like to try something different to the Jalapenos I grow every year and it's certainly very different!

I've noticed more and more examples of different varieties popping up in named seed packets this last couple of years. I was rather T'd off by last year's Bloody Butcher toms - the actual fruit was more like a basic Gardener's Delight. I think I did 5 or 6 plants- all the same. This year, same packet and all turned out to be B B's - exactly as it said on the tin
It can be a bit frustrating but, as in your case, quite exciting too.
In this case though I'm quite pleased and excited to try it when it ripens - I think 😁 and as you say they do look great!
The Scotch Bonnets have lots on them too, so my palette is in for a shock in the not too distant..
