I try to compare with online pictures but I would like to confirm.
1. Is this from oak or pine? Received some supposed oak woodchips recently with other stuff in it.
5. Is this pigweed/weed amaranth? Edible?
Thank you!

Comments (14)Hi, Mary. I used to live and garden in MN, too. (Minneapolis) First, I'd like to say that your R spinosissima is lovely! I currently grow Stanwell Perpetual,. MN is where I learned to appreciate him and all his tough and beautiful siblings and cousins. I love how Scot's Roses sail through harsh winters and then produce showers of bloom come springtime. A more welcome sight I can't imagine. I love their lacey foliage and their sweet, delicate blossoms that are a little wild. And I love their history. I'm thinking that your R spinosissima might be a named variety or it might not. There are many, slightly different double blush to double pinks dotted across the lands where R spinosissima varieties are grown and cultivated. Settlers traveled with seeds or seedlings which would produce roses varying from the original plants as well as cutting grown clones. It might be helpful to Google "Peter Boyd roses." You'll find literature written by a R spinosissima expert. Boyd said this about doubles: ." The first coloured variants of R. spinosissima were found in the wild and described in the 17th century but no double forms were available from nurseries until the early 19th century. Joseph Sabine (1822) described their early history." I tried to insert the Boyd quote as a link so you can read the rest of the article. I would be absolutely thrilled to see more of your found and gifted roses, and I look forward to reading what you learn about your very special heirlooms! Carol Addition: Oh! I see Comtesse also linked to Boyd in her comment above. Two great minds! :-)...See MoreHelp with identification
Comments (1)Wash it with some soap, water, and soft brush then see if there is any signature. Lots of this type of item were mass marketed but if there is a signature, probably on the back you might find more information....See MoreNeed help with identification of some of my plants.
Comments (4)I wish I could be more helpful with iding your plants because as Pagen has stated most of your plants are Echeveria and imo Echeveria are hard to id. Don’t get me wrong I think they’re totally beautiful, but they can look very similar, and there are a ton out there. A couple more reasons why I think it may be hard to id your new plants is some are “stressed” so they’re closed up real tight. Lastly I suspect your plants have been grown under lights, which imo I think can make Echeveria have a different appearance than they would if grown under the sun, but this isn’t always the case. I just suspect this with yours, but I’ve been wrong before🙂. Now that I’ve given you my spiel here are some id guesses. #3 I think may be Echeveria elegans #4 may be an Echeveria agavoides, but which one exactly I have zero clue. #7 First thought was a Pachyphytum compactum, but now I look at it again, and think not because compactum’s leaves don’t seem to have those points on the tips of the leaves like what’s on your plant. When it blooms it will help with the genus. #8 I’m gonna have to look around because I swear I’ve seen this Echeveria before. #9 Finally one I’m pretty certain with the Id🙂 Echeveria cante. This when grown right is beautiful! #11 Echeveria ‘ Neon Breakers’ #17 possibly Echeveria polidonis #19 Greenovia, if not an Aeonium. Both are monocarpic. #22 Echeveria ‘Perle von Nurnberg’ Sorry I couldn’t be more exact with the ids. Luckily with most Echeveria I have found they require the same care. A good fast draining mix amended with perlite and or pumice, lots of strong light, and water once the mix is dry....See More
