Okay, you garden experts (and boy, do I mean that...you guys are soooo awesome).

What's deeze? . .



And...



Ta da!!!!!!

Wha la they are two big fat red X's!!!! :p Do I get a prize for knowing two mysteries?????

right click....then hit "show picture"....maybe it'll work for ya....

BILL!!!!!!!!
Can U help?

Yep, I back up and comfirm Karen's diagnosis
of two (2) red X's!!!
Can I have half of her prize?? :p

Weezie

poop I can NEVER do this......

I had to go to properties, copy it's http/
and then hit my main page?? and copy/paste address there and then I could see the one....

It looks like a jade, but, it's probably a
cousin of it!!!

Weezie

Not sure what the second one is,
but GREAT color PURPLE!!!!!!!!!!!

I think that the second one is a pipe organ cactus (lemaireocereus marginatus) and the first one definitly a crassula, I might even argentea (jade) that was in some starge growing condition, that might have caused it to try and grow sideways for more light? How long have you had it do you now it's history?

try here for some info

or maybe...

Crassula arborescens

Liz asked, "How long have you had it do you now it's history?"

We just bought it on Sunday. It's in a 3-inch pot. Definitely a crassula......
Check up there ^ Can you see "em now???

Liz, it's not quite the same as the arborescens. I have one of those...& this one's different...

I think you may be right on with the pipe organ cactus

Geeze Louise Jillie I just got progressive bifocals :p and I still can't hardly see the pix...."do I need trifocals?"

What happened to putting it in your album thingie!!! Now I could SEE those!!!

Wink, Wink!!!

When I finally get my camera it will take me years to learn....You should of seen how long it took this computer nit wit to get the animations. Everybody in the hostess lounge had a good laugh over that one. I am totally electronically challenged!!!

Hey Catlover,

They are in the Album thingie

Look in -What is this plant?

There are also 3 new pics of one of our euphorbias blooming. This was another garden rescue, the gardener was using it as a stepping stone until he uprooted it completely. I love the little flowers, they have a perfect star in the center of the bloom.

If anyone knows that exact name if this one, I would appreciate.

Hi Jilly,
The first one is a jade plant.

Newt

Catlover, sorry...When I posted larger pics, they didn't show...too many pixels, me tinks..


Newt, Thanks...Jade...? The only thing, though, is that instead of woody stems, they're fleshy. And, the edges of the sort-of spatulate leaves are purple, instead of pink. We have about five different kinds of jade, here, & this is a real oddity....
Hmmmmm...jade? Maybe a hybrid?

Jillie,
Didn't Nikkal call them some kind of crassulia??
Or something like that, that's a cousin of
the jade/???

Oh, Nikkkkkkkallllllllllllllll??

(I could of sworn she had posted on something like this before, can't remember where??)

Weezie

Jillie,

try this one:

Papito, I think you're close to the cigar, here. The leaves on ours are a bit more fleshy at the tip...and the spacing of the leaves along the stem is a bit different...

What do you think of this one?

Kalanchoe farinacea Balf

Lizheaemma,
I just learned something new on your post!
Thank~You,
You posted that with GOOGLE SEARCH, I never
knew you could switch that thing to image and
get a bunch of pictures of something......

Thanks!

Hi, Liz
That shot is of one of the "flapjack" ones. I have three of those guys and the newbie isn't the same. Check out the two new photos in our webshots. I have the new guy repotted in a pink planter and I put it behind an arborescens for comparison in the first shot. In the second pic we have newbie grouped with some other jades. It's definitely in the family....but the leaves don't grow opposite one another....Maybe it did get stunted and deformed during its babyhood.....

Click.. What is this plant?

Wow Jillie! I don't have an answer for you, but I just LOVE all your succulents! I especially like the hummer whirly - they are my favorites and I collect garden hummer thingies.

Awe, thanks, Lynne
Just sitting outside and looking at all the forms and colors is so calming and zen-ish....I just love these plants, too! The sillies and whirrlies just add to the fun. I think we have about four of the hummer thingies. Every day, something new is going on out there...even in winter.

I found it!!!!

It's a Senecio jacobsenii variegata or "Variegated Hanging Jade." We found one at Lowe's yesterday. Success! Thanks, everyone for the input..

Hmmmmmmmm,
A jade that hangs??
Interesting!!!

Thanks for the update...
Always love those!!!!!!

Weezie

Ha ha ha....solved your own mystery....bet that sure felt good!

I like the idea of a hanging jade...oh my I need another hanging basket!!! :p lol

Jillie have you noticed how many plants on display now that orginate from Tanzania! Interesting!
