I have joined Green Thumb Sunday. I have a little bit of a green thumb but figure that by joining I will learn a lot about plants. For starters, can anyone tell me what kind of plant this is? A friend gave it to me 4 years ago and for the first couple of years it only grew foliage. The last two years it has had flowers on it in the fall. She didn't know the name of the plant and I haven't been able to identify it. Any help would be appreciated.
Gardeners, Plant and Nature lovers can join in every Sunday, visit As the Garden Grows for more information.
I'm not sure, Mary, but it looks like 'Frosty Morn' sedum. Welcome to GTS!
ReplyDeleteThanks, dirty knees. I will do a bit of research and see if I can find out for sure. Appreciate it. And thanks for the warm welcome.
ReplyDeleteI think Dirty Knees found the right answer. It is a Sedum - I'm just not sure what variety it is.
ReplyDeleteYep definately a sedum, geat food plant for insects this time of year.
ReplyDeleteWelll.....okay, I'll take everyone's word for it. Sedum. I couldn't tell for sure when I first looked, but I would have guessed Shrimp plant. Then, you typed it blooms in autumn...well, that eliminates Shrimp plant.
ReplyDeleteNever-the-less, it's very pretty. I bet it will attract the butterflies as they migrate?!
I agree it is a sedum. They are very easy to grow and as mark says insects love them. Yours looks lovely. Sara from farmingfriends
ReplyDeleteMary thank you for visiting my site.
ReplyDeleteYour question about my header.
My header came from a email someone sent me. I loved the picture and thought it spoke what I wanted my blog to be about. Women joining together to serve the Lord.
I saved the picture to my photos on my computer and then just copied it into my header. I did not do anything with the html?--don't know how to deal with that stuff.There is another site that I get the pictures for my post. It is free. stock.xchng . They have some great pictures.I also opened up a blog that was closed to viewers so I could play on it and see how things worked before I started playing on my real blog.I do hope this helps.
I come back after church today and check your blog out. :)
Kate,
ReplyDeleteI did a Google image search after Dirty Knees said Sedum and that is correct. I'm glad to know what it is since I've always wondered.
Thanks for visiting.
Mary
Mark,
ReplyDeleteSo it is a useful plant. I will look up more information on sedum.
Thanks for dropping by and leaving me that tidbit of information. Appreciate it.
Mary
Anni,
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed a sedum. Whatever it is, it's pretty. I will watch more carefully to see what type of insects it attracts.
Mary
Sara,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments on the sedum. As I said in the blog, it didn't bloom for the first couple of years. I was thinking of getting rid of it, but when it bloomed I changed my mind.
Thanks for dropping by. I appreciate your visit.
Mary
Sharon,
ReplyDeleteThanks for responding to my email. That is a beautiful header. I was very impressed.
I will check out the site and see what I can find. I'm always looking for graphics of lovel women of God.
Enjoyed your visit. Have a wonderful Sunday.
Mary
Thats look cool...
ReplyDeleteGenny,
ReplyDeleteIt's very different and something I'd never had in my garden before. I enjoy the fact that it blooms in the fall and lasts until we have our first big freeze.
Thanks for stopping by. Now I'm off to your blog.
Mary
I'm not sure what it is, but it sure looks pretty!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Anna. It is very pretty. Appreciate you stopping by.
ReplyDeleteMary
Welcome to GTS, and for visiting my site. Your sedum is lovely, whichever variety it is.
ReplyDeleteHappy GTS,

Aiyana,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the remarks on the sendum. It is a pretty plant, isn't it? I enjoy having it in my garden.
Thanks for dropping by.
Mary
Yep that's definitely a sedum, Mine was a little small this year too because of the strange weather. If you water them well throughout the summer your plant will probably be larger and have even more flowers next fall.
ReplyDeleteTricia,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pointers. We didn't get much rain this summer and there was a water ban, so it didn't get as much water as it might have.
Glad you stopped by. Have a great day.
Mary
May God bless your green thumb.
ReplyDeleteNot sure but my friend Qunella knows a lot about plants and she knows a lot about plants.
ReplyDeleteHave you every thought of googling in "Sedum" and see if you can gather in into.
Denise,
ReplyDeleteThanks, my green thumb needs all the blessings it can get. :-)
Pepperlady,
ReplyDeleteI did google it and it is a sendum - in fact, dirty knees was correct. It is "Frosty Morn' sedum. Thanks for the tip. Much appreciated.
Mary,
ReplyDeleteI have a plant that looks very much like that one. I thought it was a lavender plant, but I'm not so sure now! I will try to post a photo of mine tomorrow. Perhaps you can tell if it is the same as yours. It's a really nice plant - whatever it is!
I enjoyed my visit!
Hugs,
Tina
Tina,
ReplyDeleteI also have a lavender plant that grows not far from this one. When you post it, I will have a look and see if I can tell what it is.
Take care and thanks for dropping by.
Mary
Yes! Finally someone writes about autism awareness.
