fyi.. there is a very active NAME THAT PLANT FORUM ....

It is spurge. I appreciate it every spring because it shows up right outside of the window by our ground telephone line long before it is comfortable to work outside in the garden. This year we were in Severe Drought on August 2 when we left home for three weeks in the Pacific Northwest visiting daughters. I chopped down all the dead and dying stuff in the bed under aforesaid window. When we came home we found that 2+ inches of rain had fallen while we were gone and the lovely bluegreen foliage of the spurge is freshening things up. Won't show blooms and bracts until next spring.

#1 looks like some sort of Crassula or Cotyledon #2 Gymnocalycium bruchii (?) #3 the bowl is probably a batch of Lithops salicola #4 single plant, could be one of the Lithops karasmontana complex, which has been overwatered. Lithops should not retain more than 1 pair of older leaves. I would immediately transplant it into a more porous mix and keep it on the dry side until the older leaves have withered. It may take all spring-summer (or longer) to get to that point. Monilaria: I have nothing more to add x

Hello all and thanks for your help...still researching, I don't think it is ajuga, I have that planted also in a different location, so I am familiar. Popular vote is saying oenothera...looked that up on the web, and I don't see the similiarity, although I know there are many varieties...Will keep checking...also of note, it pretty much lived through the winter months...Waiting for flower and I will post....Thanks all..

Hyssop is in the same family (Lamiaceae) as Salvias, of which there are hundreds of species, hence the superficial similarities.

Definitely, Salvia, not Nepeta. Do you know for certain it is a perennial and not an annual or biennial?

i just thought a was a second pic of the same plant.. lol..

scale is often helpful... like in this case to compare height..

is there a reason you need to know the exact cultivar name??? ... if you want more of one or the other.. there should be ways to propagate whichever for more... you only need the name.. if you are going to search for a seller..

anyway.. welcome to the forums.. hit us with your best shot.. we are dying for more activity...

there is also a rather active perennial forum... where all the above peeps also hang out...
