I'll gently disagree with the VF-11 recommendation on this basis: The guaranteed analysis of the primary macro-nutrients (NPK) in Eleanor's is: 0.15 - 0.85 - 0.55 This is less than 1% of ANY of the majors. 1/8 of 1% N, 7/8 of 1% P, 1/2 of 1% K. This is EXTREMELY low in fertility. Since I cannot find the rest of the analysis, I'm going to guess the rest of the nutrients are probably nonexistent, or nearly so. I haven't used this potion (VF-11), but then, you don't need to ride the bus to know what makes the wheels go round & round. Forgive me for being somewhat skeptical or even cynical, but when vague claims are made like: ... and mildew is eliminated because VF-11 changes the pH and creates a condition where mildew can not grow. Once again, isn't it amazing? I wonder why there isn't something specific in the claim. Changes the pH of what? Soil? Cellular pH? Leaf surface pH - for how long? Hmmm I also wonder at: VF-11 builds so much strength and health that plant cells 'harden' and 'seal in' the amino acids which aphids feed on. You have merely eliminated their food supply. And you have done it without the use of poisonous systemic or pesticides. Pretty nice...huh? Don't aphids feed on sap. How does this product make the sap unavailable to aphids? Does it somehow make cells so hard that they cannot be penetrated and dry up all the intra-cellular plant water/sap? Should I/we be saying GMAB here? There's more, but you get the drift. I wouldn't say that this product has no benefit, as it may very well have some, but I am of the general feeling there is almost surely no panacean value to products like Superthrive or this elixir, and it's a good bet it's not the magic potion some may think it to be. I don't trust advertising that is known to be false and this alone is enough to fuel the skepticism in me. One thing additional: The claim that "you cannot overdo", means there could only be extremely minute (almost immeasurable or nonexistent) amounts of any micro-nutrients in it because micro-nutrient overdose produces toxicity at even low levels and over-doing would reveal readily visible symptoms quickly. Like I said, I wouldn't argue that it has no value, but I do know that I would invest in a good, known source of micro-nutrients and an appropriate fertilizer before I'd trust plant vitality to a product labeled with so many unsubstantiated claims.

The first reply on the other forum got it right - cowpeas, aka field peas. Classic eye on the seed. Looks like mostly Haricot Rouge or a similar red one. Might also have some Black Beans in there but the black ones could be just very old dried peas. Dave

Seedmoney, thank you for the Peperomia graveolens ID. Here I thought it was a Crassula ______, for sure. :) I'm sending some cuttings to Stush and at least now we know what it is. In looking up the Cotyledon name you gave me, I think I discovered what #2 is! The Cotyledon orbiculata v. oophylla was very, very similar but my plant actually has each leaf fused to the leaf on the other side, and it stems/branches out vigorously where the one you showed me is much more compact and each "leaf" is individual to the stem (and pretty !). But then looking around, I found Crassula Nudicaulis var. Herrei -- which has that leaf structure. What do you think? Thanks again! Grace

Definitely NOT a P. afra, leaf shape, & stems are wrong for that, sorry. I would have thought some kind of Tradescantia (Wandering Jew). They are related to Callisia, but I only know the larger leafed ones (like fragrans), so that seems a good fit. Nice find Iman, I believe it'll benefit from being pinched back often to keep it lush & full like that.
