I haven't a clue, but they are sure interesting. And love those shells, they are beautiful.

Thank you guys! Ok I think your right that is a 'Devil's Backbone' . Still trying to figure out the rest and it that one is a Kalachoe. Not sure. Hopefully you guys can take another look from the pic's of the whole plant that he cut them from.

Greg I will just leave them alone for now and see how they do. Ill have to stick them in another pot because that soil is a bit moist for them Im thinking.

My Grandmother used to grow that plant. It gets huge so you may want to put it in a pot to itself. We're talking 3 feet tall and bushy. It's awesome though!

What a fab present Jackie!

Thank you Kate! It was an awesome present.

Clint here is another picture of the whole plant he clipped it from.



Here is a picture of the other one he clipped from....not sure what it is




The other one that you guys are saying is a kalachoe doesnt really look right. This one that he brought has round leaves. Here is a better picture of it.

2nd pic looks like a plant that my in-laws had called queen of hearts. It can be a ground cover. But if you look up queen of hearts, you get the more infamous rat-eating plant. Will try to look for other common name for what you got.

That Devil's Backbone is beautiful!

What beautiful and interesting plants Jackie. You have a very thoughtful husband.
I have seen that plant in the second photo, but can't remember the name.
Is this it? Aptenia?

I know now from the photos that it isn't peperomia...maybe aptenia! Sure is a pretty plant Lynn!
Jackie that purple one still looks like a kalanchoe to me, some type similar to this

I was thinking aptenia too. I have a variegated version.

It is a beautiful plant. I've seen the variegated one in photos. They are very eye catching.

I think Tarev has one, I feel like I've seen photos!

I'm drooling. But it is one that needs to come indoors for winter in my area.

Hmmmm thank you all for your help.

I think it could be the aptenia!!! Looks very very close to it! Thank you Lynn ill look that up here on my lunch break and take a better look.

Greg, I do think your right about the other one being a kalanchoe. Looks close as well. I have some better close up shots of the plants that might help as well.

Thank you all for trying to help me out. I just want to be able to research them and make sure I am providing what they need to thrive.

Jackie, here is another Forum that might be helpful. Many of these people can actually grow these plants outdoors year round.
I'm just a tiny bit jealous of that. http://garden.org/forums/view/...

Thank You Lynn! Been busy at work but as soon as I get home I will be in full research mode!

I know my hubby is going to be making me a greenhouse and even said I could get a heater for it and try and keep it warm all winter so that would probably work as well! Very exciting

Wow, you have good reason to be excited: great hubby, greenhouse-a-coming, good weather(?)...

Well moving by June 1st and he says he will get one going for me right away! Very excited of course...right now I have my little greenhouse. Weather isn't consistent yet but hoping it will stay warm at night so I can put some of the tenders out soon! I really cant stress enough how happy you guys make me always helping me out like this! Its been so great!

Oh, it's been fun...

Well good Bev then you wont mind me asking a couple hundred more questions if need be
