Today I received about 1lb of hot peppers. 2/3 of it came in my Door to Door Organics delivery and the remainder came from my husband’s coworker’s garden.
The problem: I can’t ID peppers, and I’d like to go in knowing the approximate heat contained in each. I tried to group them based on which looked similar to one another.
So, dear readers, here is your challenge. Identify the peppers, and their approximate heat level. Bonus points for recipes which will best make use of the peppers.
Thanks in advance!

I mostly identify peppers by smell//taste/seeds, but…
Left most looks like a big jalapeño or maybe an anaheim
upper left look like they could be banana peppers
upper middle looks like del arbol cayenne and the lumpier one might be fresno if it is different
upper right look like regular cayenne
bottom left/middle looks like serrano
bottom right is… not familiar to me, they sort of look like ornamental peppers
