Name That Plant!

Please help identify this please

9 years ago

It kind of sounds and looks like purslane but I've never seen flowers on them. It used to grow all over our garden but it's seem to have decreased and now just in certain areas. Not all of them have that red. New ones that are sprouting are bright green.

If you're not somewhere tropical, I agree with Sedum. S. spurium maybe.

It would help to see a picture of the entire plant or, at the least, a description of the entire plant. The 6th (I think) image -- darkish leaves -- may be a flowering crabapple. And consider posting in the Name that Plant Forum http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/namegal/ Here is a link that might be useful: images

I would print out that photo and go to the store and get some likely matches to look at in your house. Whatever color they actually are, they may look completely different in real life than they do in the picture. Since it is the picture you like I would match the picture, not the color name.

When I looked for K D furniture, the information says K D means knock down....or assembly required. I can't imagine the original buyer put those chairs together. Then another search came up with sites, like Wayfair, Overstock, Amazon. Thailand was identified as place of manufacturing. Very confusing. Hope someone out there can straighten it out for you.

about the only thing that will knock this type of thing back.. is severe repeated drought ... and two large dogs who trample the heck out of it ...

that piece will probably root ... in a glass of water ....

you could probably propagate a bunch of it.. by filling a flat with media... and laying/sticking a bunch of pieces on top .. and setting it all in shade .... and by fall most will be rooted .. with just a little water now and then ...

unless its the one sedum in the universe ... that is somehow foo foo .. lol ...

I guess from pulling it every year it's made it stop growing by our porch. It still grows in this one area but it's because our neighbors have it right next to our garden so it over flows into our yard. It does look a lot like spurium thank you.
