• Wow! The one on the bottom is really cool!

• The first is seaside heliotrope (Heliotropium curassavicum var. oculatum). Not sure about the succulent, probably an escaped or planted exotic.

  • Thx, Mike. I see an irrigation hose, so this may be in someone’s garden that RK failed to tell me.

• Beautiful! I'm guessing you know how much I love new flower discoveries! :D

  • Yup. The heliotrope was found by one of our wildflower enthusiasts. She also found a new one last year. I think it was an orchid? Very unusual one.

    • We’re supposed to have a rare orchid in our area, but so far it’s been elusive! It’s fun searching though!

• I have the very same bottom one in my garden, but I don't know the name. It gets huge and will consume a space if it's allowed to! Yep, the soaker hose gives it away as a planted succulent!

• I love looking for plant names! The succulent here is called Pig's Ear, which I've never known even having grown it for years.

  • Thank you, JJ
    I was able to pass on your info to Rock Knocker.
