I took this as a clipping from a cascading pot outside a Swiss Chalet at the end of summer - it's done so well. * * * * When sorting seeds, do not whistle.

Member # 3052 posted                       When I took the clipping from the big plant at Swiss Chalet, it had white flowers on it. We'll have to see what it looks like when it blooms. * * * * When sorting seeds, do not whistle.

Member # 8075 posted                       The second one looks like what we out here call "Creeping Charlie". Are the leaves like those of a succulent? If so, it's a Charlie. Also called Swedish Ivy. They can get huge-ceiling to floor huge ! * * * * Plants: 1772 | From: Southern California, USA | Registered: Feb 2006  |  Seeded: 207.200.116.7 Carly Garden Pro! Member # 3052 posted                       Creeping Charlie - well I know some people call the grass weed that - this isn't anything like Creeping Charlie. * * * * When sorting seeds, do not whistle.

Member # 3052 posted                       Ahhhhh! OK, then - we'll see how far it goes. As for the other one - Spanish Thyme or whatever, it seems, according to the Dave's Garden entry, it will be getting its blooms soon. I'll look forward to that. * * * * When sorting seeds, do not whistle. Plants: 2784 | From: Toronto, Canada | Registered: Jul 2004  |  Seeded: 74.100.86.38
