Can anyone ID these?

18 years ago

Got quite a few plants at a garage sale, some I don't know what they are.

I think one of them is a desert rose?

    First one is coleus in the middle top, wandering jew at the bottom, and maybe a red dracaena over on the far right. Second one is crown of thorns, and the bottom one looks like another dracaena to me.

    Hope this helps!

    Hi Wanda!
    Marcia, always quick on the draw, is correct.

    I see some kinda philo in the top pic, along with weeds, and I call the red draceana Hawaiian Ti. The last one looks a lot like Tri-Color draceana that I saw in a magazine.

    You'll have fun dividing the plants giving them their new home...

    Hi, SusieQsie...now that you point it out, I see the "philo" too...maybe a syngonium? Funny, I wasn't home all day...been at the hospital with Mark who had a TIA this morning...and I just checked GW as Wanda's post came through. And you are probably right that the red thingie is Ti plant...I always get those mixed up with one of the dracaenas that are red and tall. Can't see enough to tell.

    Aw man....I wish I checked this post earlier....I actually could have ID those plants :-)

    um...Marcia????????? a tia ??? so, how's Mark doing. And...How are you ?????? Good grief, Gal....

  • 18 years ago

    Oh, thanks, Beth. Mark is doing fine right now. Had an MRI today and is scheduled for an ultrasound of his heart tomorrow to be sure the Cardio-Seal patch that he got after his 2004 stroke is still functioning properly. There was no brain damage after the TIA and if the Cardio-Seal is okay, they will probably send him home tomorrow with changes in his meds. After his stroke, he was on Plavix and 350m aspirin. That was reduced after 6 months to 81m aspirin only. I think they will put him back on Plavix or up the aspirin dosage, since he obviously had a clot today.

    It was a very stressful and frightening event, remembering how bad it was last time, but I think it will end up okay. I'm really positive that he will be coming home tomorrow.

    Me, I'm just really tired out after a long day, but at least I'll be sleeping in my own bed tonight. Poor Mark...at 8:30, they still hadn't found a room for him, so it was looking like he would stay in the ER all night. Eeek. Noisy and bright.

    I'll know more tomorrow, but I'm refusing to think any negative thoughts.

    Thank you Marcia and Susie! Some have been planted already and others like the draceana and ti plants are awaited their new homes. Have to get out there and dig!

    Marcia, I hope all is going well with Mark and that you had a good nights rest. It's all so stressful....I'm sending good thoughts and prayers.

    First pot:
    Coleus
    Purple Wandering Jew
    Looks like a baby elephant ear of some sort
    Oxalis (shamrock thingies)
    Oyster Plant (rhoeo)

    Second pot:
    Crown of Thorns
    Mother in law Tongue (sanseveria)
    Maybe a bromeliad with the long, droopy leaf?
    Sword Fern
    Can't see the purple too well, but it could be oxalis or black elephant ear.

    Third pot is definitely a tri-color dracaena marginata.

    Cool! How much did you pay for them all?

  • 18 years ago

    Wow, junkyard, you've got good eyes! I didn't even think the brom and sanseveria showed up. Maybe it's my slowly dying monitor.

    I planted the fern, sanseveria and brom already. I love the size of that sanseveria, I've never seen one so wide.

    Well, here's the lowdown on what I got.

    The first planter with the coleus and various others.
    3 Ti plants
    3 tri-color marginata
    1 Eureka lemon tree about 3' tall
    The other planter with the crown of thorns, etc.

    All for $27.00. I was beside myself.

    I said I wasn't going to plant alot of stuff at this new house, but you just can't help it when you find such bargains.

    Good job on the plant ID's all. It sounds like you got a great deal on some lovely plants. That is a nice sansiveria, I used to have a ton of them in my yard and I like them.

    Enjoy!
