Unfortunately, your scotch bonnets are actually jamaican mushroom peppers. Based on the bottom right pepper, there is no annular constriction on the calyx, indicating that this is a C. annuum and not a C. chinense.
This happened to a lot of people last year, and it seems like a lot of companies are selling jamaican mushroom peppers as “scotch bonnets” even though they are not closely related.
