    Okay, so here it goes. The first three pictures are of my brand new succulent. I have no idea what he is, maybe sedum? I just love him. Next two pictures are of another succulent that seems to be a hanger/crawler. It has aerial roots and it said fish hook on the container. I could only find a cactus with that name. Now, on to the succulent that has a common name of propeller plant. Love this one, too! I was just wanting more than the common name. I bought an unknown houseplant/tree earlier this winter and was told it is a Japanese Lantern and I am not having much luck matching that one either. Beautiful blooms that last about a week. The plant itself is looking sort of gangly (not sure what to do about that), and the leaves are small, slender and sort of maple like. Thank you much for your time! And for reading this. Whew!

    The last one looks like an Abutilon of some type; could be A. pictum. I'm not up on the cultivars so much, but that one in particular is a popular boulevard tree in the highlands down here. To me, they always look a bit spindly and sad. You can try pinching a few leaves to see if it branches....

    It is indeed an abutilon pictum. Thank you. I am still not sure what the cultivar is but that could take some time if ever! Appreciate the assistance lorax! Also when I was looking at pictures of the abutilon, by happy mistake, I was able to find the name of the propeller plant. It's a crassula!

    Not trying to bug people but I am having no luck with the first two succulents. Curiosity is killing me! The fun of identifying has run out...well almost.

    I'm not very good with succulents. The first one looks kind of like a type of Graptopetalum paraguayense, but I could be very wrong. I did find a Senecio 'Fish Hook' online that looks somewhat like the second plant as well.

    I actually have a Graptopetalum paraguayense or Ghost Plant although I only knew it's common name. When I looked at the pictures I posted it does indeed look similar. But it is not the same. =( On the flip side, you have found me an answer to my beloved fish hook. It is Senecio! Thank you. Three down, one to go.
