Please help identify this plant? Coffee plant?
Hi All:
I bought the tall plant that is flowering in the picture below from a little city gardening store in Boston a couple of years ago. The clerks at the store thought it might be a coffee plant, but they weren't completely sure.
I was hoping of you might have a good read on what type of plant it is? It actually usually looks quite a bit different than it does right now. It seems to get stressed when I move it inside/outside in the Spring and Fall, and loses lots of its leaves. When I moved it outside this spring it seemed to grow back substantially more leaves than usual, which are smaller and more closely grouped to the stem. The little pink flowers are new too.
Thank you in advance for any assistance you may be able to provide.

Comments (5)I agree with Zeck's ID on #3. Mammillaria spinosissima 'Un Pico' & #12. (Have yet to look at others) Thanks for the additional pix. On your 2 added plants, 1st of those is Rhipsalis paradoxa, Chain Rhipsalis/Link Rhipsalis & the other is a Sempervivum (hard to say which species). When you give a link (your drop box urls), you can copy/paste them into the box below where you are typing this (Optional Link URL) & give it a name "my plants" (etc.). Like I did for you again, below. Shortens the steps for others to take in order to see your plants. =) Oh! And THANK YOU for numbering your plants & the large rez pix. That is VERY helpful!

Comments (5)I've mentioned this before, but my method to handle seedling trees that are too well rooted to pull up is the use the little spray bottle (that fake butter comes in) and spray (more like drip) the cut end with undiluted broad leaf weed killer. Saves having to get in there and dig it out. The seedling can be cut at any length, just getting the stuff on the open cut kills it. I carry the bottle in my garden holster to have it handy as we have a lot of little hackberry, oak and pecan seedlings coming up all the time....See More
