the unknown

I obtained this plant in majorca last year. it is easy to grow but what is it called please.

 

Hans, Aptenia cordifolia.

 

Many thanks, once again Pete, label duly printed.
Be prepared for an 'unknown' apple in a few weeks.

 

:D Looks very much like a plant we obtained in Jersey a couple of years back, but ours is a darker red. Now we know what it is called.

 

I got it from Menorca I have seen its common name as 'Baby's tears' for some reason?

Mine actually survived outside last year due to the mild winter...does well hanging down from chimney pot type containers

 

what a beauty!

 

Ohhh Pete you beat me to it, really wonderful Hans, nice way you all call it ...obtained.... lol

Hi
I seem to be having a bit of trouble opening this picture which is a shame as I would like to know if it is the same plant that we obtained from Malta a few years ago

This is the plant we were talking about T.

 

OOh thanks for that pete yes thats the plant I have it all over the place now in containers, and in a small raised bed I think its so pretty I just cut a piece off put it where i want it and it just grows.

 

Obtained = holiday plants. Removal of plant for safekeeping, due to the possibility of being trod on underwatered or neglected, to my garden via aircraft. If plant is too big or deep rooted then a large cutting will do. This way a species may be saved. ahem.

 

It did survive outside last winter in my garden
