looks like 2 different sweet pepper plants?

I thought I planted 16 of the same kind of sweet pepper plant (california wonder) but after looking @ the plants more closely there seems to be 2 different kinds of peppers. Not that it's a big deal, just curious what everyone else thinks. I bought them from transplants and they were all labeled california wonder. Anyways I have a few pics I'll put up.

I agree, 1 and 2 don't look like the same pepper.

This year, at my favorite nursery, my kid was THAT kid. Humiliating.

Actually the funny thing is 1 and 2 are the same type of pepper. the first picture is just a further along version of the 2nd picture. I know this because the majority of the plants are this kind and have lots of peppers on them of various sizes. The oddball to me is the 3rd picture which I only have 3 plants of and I believe are the true california wonder plants. There darker green and more globe shaped than the first 2 pictures. I've never grown this kind before so I'm not 100 % sure on which are the true california wonders.

The last one is a true bell type.

Have you tasted 1 and 2?
Sweet or heat?

The last one looks like a cal wonder to me. The other could be anaheim, or maybe one of the other cubanelle types. It is too wide to be banana. It could be hungarian wax, but they are usually a yellow green color or it may just be the lighting when you took the picture.

I think I figured it out. The place I deal with gets most of their stuff from a burpee supplier. After looking @ the burpee website they definatly look like the sweet cubanelle peppers that they have. the first and second picture that is. The third does look like the cali wonder.

A few more pics. They look even lighter green in person than on the pictures. That may have thrown some of you off.
