Mystery peppers!

So when I got my plants from the store I picked out some green peppers for my sister but when they started to fruit I got this and don't know when to pick or even what it is! It first was green then yellow and now orangey red!

could be almost anything. you can harvest pretty much any pepper from green through ripe/colored...you should probably pick that one and taste-test, find out if it's hot or sweet at least.

I think it looks like a carrot pepper or a wax pepper.
