I thought a lavender of some kind - I dunno'. I took this as a clipping from a cascading pot outside a Swiss Chalet at the end of summer - it's done so well.

Hi Carly. Does the first one have a smell? The second looks like Swedish Ivy.

No, I didn't smell anything.
OK - some kind of ivy, eh? We'll see what this sprig of stuff does then.

When I took the clipping from the big plant at Swiss Chalet, it had white flowers on it. We'll have to see what it looks like when it blooms.

Well, thank you - I'm farther along than I was with that one.

The second one looks like what we out here call "Creeping Charlie". Are the leaves like those of a succulent? If so, it's a Charlie. Also called Swedish Ivy. They can get huge-ceiling to floor huge !

Creeping Charlie - well I know some people call the grass weed that - this isn't anything like Creeping Charlie.

Ahhhhh! OK, then - we'll see how far it goes.
As for the other one - Spanish Thyme or whatever, it seems, according to the Dave's Garden entry, it will be getting its blooms soon. I'll look forward to that.
