Comments (3)I know the spected one is an aloe maybe both are that's all o can provide but I'll look into it now. the left aloe; Aloe aristata Haworth 1825 (Torch Aloe) from South Africa forms a small stemless 6-8 in rosette. The triangular soft green succulent leaves have raised white spots, especially on their undersides, finely toothed edges and filamentous tips. The rosettes offset freely and with time will form a substantial clump. Offsets may be removed and used for propagation. Aloe aristata is often grown indoors as a window-ledge succulent plant, but it is very hardy. In the Drakensberg mountains it grows at up to 7500 ft and is equally happy growing outside through the wet English winter, provided that it is potted up in a very free-draining medium. It does well on a sunny patio, potted up in almost pure granite chippings mixed with a small amount of soil. i can't see the right one but you maybe able to spot it. Here is a link that might be useful: info from here This post was edited by mushibu10 on Wed, Aug 20, 14 at 11:52...See MorePlease identive a plant. Long leaves, curly shoots.
Comments (3)Looks like Epilobium ciliatum to me. It is a common weed (but native!) that likes moist, shady areas. What you are referring to as "shoots" are actually the sprung-open seed pods -- you can see a few bits of the fluff that are attached to the seeds still hanging on in your photo. Here's a photo from CalPhotos showing the opened seed pods: E. ciliatum More info about the species here....See MoreIdentity help please, on house plant...
Comments (11)Hi guys, It is an Episcia from our Exotic Angel Plants collection. We do have it on our website: http://www.costafarms.com/plants/flame-violet But unfortunately, it looks like I haven't done a good enough job writing it for it to pop up high enough on Google or other search engines. The two varieties we're growing, I believe, are Pink Panther and Country Quilt. Regarding the tags: Our tag manufacturers have minimum orders, so if we don't grow enough of a plant, it can't have a variety-specific tag. And certain retailers are very specific about tags and labeling and what we're allowed to do on our plants. That said, I know --- and readily admit --- that we can do a better job than we are now. We are working on improvements. If you have any questions, please feel free to give me a shout. Happy New Year, Justin Costa Farms Horticulturist...See MoreGlenn Jones(9b)
