This past Saturday, the 17th, I attended the Fall MTPS (Middle Tennessee Plant Swap) with about 30 other great kind awesome people! I brought home some beautiful plants. Some of which will make up my new flower garden. I also got several neat herbs which will be my indoor Winter herb garden & more. Below are some pictures of them along with identification. Thanks again to all the great friends from the MTPS who gave me(or traded for) these new additions! =)
UPDATE: All unidentified plants have been named. =) Thanks to some of my gardening friends on here & on GardenWeb for help with them.

At my house we used to call your "unknown succulent" a tear drop cactus (not its botanical name of course) and it was a house plant.

Hey Steve!
ReplyDeleteThe purple sedum is a 'Dragon's Blood' Sedum. And Jenn is right the other is 'Blue Spruce'. You can break parts of these off to make more anytime you want.
Thanks for the help with the identification, y'all! =)
ReplyDeleteWow! You skored big at teh swap. Do you have a real sunny spot for your indoor garden/ i want to bring some herbs in but i don't think I have a good spot.
ReplyDeleteMan, I should have read that first SCORED - I never did learn to read!
ReplyDeleteYea, I have a real sunny spot that they all are happily living in currently. I'm wicked stokoed with my Fall MTPS plants so far! =)
