Ok, someone gave me these plants but I have no idea what they are. Would appreciate an ID. :D http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j82/cleopatra143/IMG_0681.jpg http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j82/cleopatra143/IMG_0683.jpg http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j82/cleopatra143/IMG_0685.jpg
AmericanWoman. #1 Saintpaula - African Violet, Haven't a clue which one. #2 I believe one of the Rex Begonias. #3 I'll leave to someone else. Someone else will check in with more info......barb
1 looks like a Primula. 2, Heuchera. 3, Urg! I should know but don't. However, you do have a Fittonia verschaffeltii next to it. Ha! Hey Barb, saw your answers after I posted mine. Will be interesting to read other members' IDs!
Agree with togata. 1. Primula. http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=pr...=26&ndsp=12&ved=1t:429,r:6,s:26&tx=101&ty=104 2. Heuchera or possibly x Heucherella. There are now 100's of named cultivars. http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=he...rt=0&ndsp=10&ved=1t:429,r:4,s:0&tx=140&ty=100 3.?
The third one is a Heather, is it not? Erica? The second is definitely a Heuchera. Possibly a variety called 'Jade Gloss'
#3 looks like a Norfolk Pine (Araucaria heterophylla) gone mad. When they're very young they can look like that.
2. try Heuchera micrantha. still working on #3. think it can be a bonsai plant (besides having a role as a normal plant...)
I'm pretty confident that #3 is an Erica - Cross leaved Heather. It is one of the primary heathland/moorland species here in the UK and has masses of pink flowers.http://stq.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bielde:Erica_tetralix_003.jpg
is it possible the leaves on the sample are thinner than this? and the leaf arrangement does not look quite spot on.
Sorry the specimen looks weird. It was cramped in a container with a bunch of other stuff so it's crooked. here are a few different pics of it that might help. http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j82/cleopatra143/IMG_0688.jpg http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j82/cleopatra143/IMG_0689.jpg And I'm pretty sure you guys have the first two identified. Thanks!
Yep, I initially thought N-I Pine for 3...but the needle arrangement seemed ? too widely spaced/spiky somehow. Hey, let it grow and see what happens! (Always my motto.)
Might be E. carnea or E. x darleyensis. I'd compare it, in person with living specimens of both to see.
http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Erica_carnea_IMG_0919.JPG The apical growth on carnea appears distinct from this one. http://www.google.com/imgres?q=Eric...tbnw=164&start=57&ndsp=12&ved=1t:429,r:9,s:57 Between the two I would guess it is closer to x darleyensis - better match to the leaf spacing and apical growth. Still poking around though.
I believe S. reflexum is a syn for rupestre. Around here rupestre has denser leaf spacing (though that can vary depending on light/watering) and has a fleshy stem.
