Thanks, gardengal! Will remember your photo uploading advice in the future. I live on hard, rocky clay, and none of the mints seem to spread easily in that hard soil, and they die out when the cold weather hits. The new mint hasn't showed up in the hard clay, either...only in my garden beds (so far). I guess there are some positives to ugly hard clay! ;) Staying on top of the Lychnis, Forget-me-nots and Linaria is a breeze, compared to what I call the 'real' weeds in my yard: Canada thistle, dandelions (though they have their pluses, too), and the new miner's lettuce that likely came from my neighbor's yard...plus unidentified other weeds in the hard clay. The Lychnis and linaria were given to me by a professional gardener, and I get envious comments from my neighbors about the Lychnis. It makes them happy, too! The Canada thistle and miner's lettuce are much more work for me. Oh, and the feverfew - I thought it was lovely, until I let it take over as a ground cover over the clay this spring. When I started pulling them out, they pulled up large clods of dirt with them, just like mound of weedy grass does. Time to go pull the easy weeds out now. Thanks for everyone's help!!!

@hc mcdole thank you so much for all of the information and the wonderful pictures! Yes, he got them from Kroger! I was shocked as they are nothing like the typical plants I always see there so I went the next day to see what else may be there that he decided to pass over and there was a huge red and green maranta that stopped me in my tracks! It was splayed out in the center of the table and taking most of the space- so other plants were around....and on it. I would have taken it home then but would have needed more space so planed to return after my son's karate class.....well we know how this story goes! It was of course GONE and I was heartbroken yada yada lol but back to the ones my husband did get- the begonia was BEAUTIFUL day one and two as you can see from the pic.....but by the 3rd 4th day before I finally had time to repot it this weeked) it started declining rapidly. I think it was in too went soil for too long. The very tips started to fold down then the leaves started to get darker and soggy looking then crispy one by one. There are a few large leaves that still are darkened like this about halfway, but the smaller leaves were just crispy and barely hanging on. The roots were....okay as far as I could tell during the repot, Im just not sure if it will bounce back from this or not. Im hoping so its a beautiful plant. Would you suggest I do anything in particular?

Hi Cindy. I think the first one is Echinocereus rigidissimus rubrispinus Rainbow Hedgehog. Try this link. I don't know the second one. Maybe some kind of sedum?

Yes! Thank you, floral. Oddly, I did not get an alert that you replied. The experts on here are almost always better than Google. It was part of a wildflower mix and I’ve now discovered many various seeds from the mix have taken hold and I am pretty thrilled.
