What´s my name and can take extreme heat and drought?
Comments (4)Hi Patusho, In Colorado we call it California Ice Plant, and I always wondered what the botanical name was, so I just looked it up--it's Carpobrotus edulis. Here's a link with more information about it. It is definitely good for hot dry places, though I don't think it can go without any watering at all. When I was commuting to SFO for a few years, I decided I wanted to try some in Denver, so I snipped a few pieces off in a parking lot, brought them home with me, let them dry for a couple days, and stuck them into soil where they rooted beautifully. They're nowhere near hardy enough to grow outside here, and they eventually got too big and awkward for a houseplant, so there gone now, but it was fun to experiment with them. I'm not aware of any problem growing other plants near it, but check out the link to learn more.

Comments (113)My seeds came yesterday, but I have not had time to look at them. I'll post later with the high points. Thanks MIchelle, for another successful swap. Finally had a chance to open my envelope. Everyone sent great seeds and I will be sowing a lot of them this season. The most creative referenced the poultry and egg garden, including several plumes, Turkey Craw pole beans, a couple of feathers and one Cranesbill, not to mention a couple of foxes in the hen house (Foxgloves). I am always surprised and delighted by some of the associations people make in this swap. Other themes got nice seeds too and poor Miss Lottie could not help but be encouraged by all the different kinds of Marigold. Thanks again!

Comments (3)Unless someone recognises it straight off by its habit we are going to need closeups. Also you’re likely to get a bigger response if you post in the shrubs forum rather than the forums you’ve picked, none of which are relevant to identifying a large shrub....See MoreWhat’s your name little purple freebie?
Comments (13)Thanks everyone for the guesses! Sheila’s Christian J has a prominent white eye, which my rose doesn’t seem to have, so I’m still leaning toward Intl Herald Tribune. Anyhow, I’m glad its something unusual, I’d be so disappointed if Rogue Valley‘s ‘mystery’ turned out to be Queen Liz or Mr Lincoln....See More
