Garden: What is this stuff, please?

I keep what I call a 'scrub pot'. It's for poking in wee bits that I find interesting. Last year I must have poked some of this stuff into it - I had it going all last summer, fall, winter, right into the current season.

I now have a whole pot of it - but I dunno' what it is (and trust me - I have a lot of stuff that falls into the category of 'Idunno'.

OK - I goofed when I posted this pic.

I can't delete or edit here, so I'll try inserting it again:

I don't know what it is, but it sure is pretty. Looks like some kind of succulent...which I love & have the most luck with. I seem to kill anything that needs water, lol.

Hi Carly,
Welcome to The Garden Helper's Forum!!
We are very glad you found us!!!

I would have to say your plant is sometype of sedum... I can't tell you the exact name,.....
I believe it or should have had yellow flowers...
*has it flowered yet???*

It's a pretty plant and flower....
It's a nice ground cover....Will cover a good part of an area...

I'm sure someone may be able to tell you the name of it...Papito, or Jon, or Terry...Jillie might be able to too, she's got a lot of sedums!!!

Howdy! If the bloom colour is yellow it is Sedum Acre. If it is, it is also called Creeping Sedum and Moss sedum. It spreads very easily. I let it cover some of my beds.

Well, let's get back to it when it flowers - that'll make it easier.

In the meantime, I took another coupla' angles of it today:

Yep - flowers are yellow.

I'll try to get a close-up of it tomorrow. I think it is this Sedum Acre.

It has since been given a home on top of my new planter where all the kalanchoes are. Pics tomorrow sometime.

Carly,
Did your' pictures show up???
I can't see them on your last post??

If they aren't there, I will edit the post,
so it doesn't go off the page for the readers.

And can you post a new picture???

OK - so that happened . . .

Since that picture was taken (bout 10 days ago, I think), this Sedum Acre arrangement has grown and grown and grown . . . she's a real long hair now.

I'll take another picture soon.

I'm not too sure if I should thin it out - I know it will keep inside in the winter cause I had it going inside last year too (there wasn't much of it then).

I have no idea where I got this stuff, y'know. It might just be that a bird seeded it, or it blew in from somewhere. But I sure do love the thing - I'm so proud of it when people stop by the table garden to see it.
