    I received this plant in the mail....no description or ID. I tried to post in name that plant but could not find it... It is just a twig....about one foot tall. TIA

    The leaves usually smell 'pungent'.

    Do plant companies send out plants unrequested?

    I would ask the plant company for identification.

    Are the stems round or square? It's not clear from your picture but I am not seeing square stems .

    Irene, I wonder if the plant was mailed to you by someone from one of our plant swaps.

    I wish folks would put their name on a plant tag when giving them to us (or mailing them!). After the swap I can oftimes remember the faces, but not always their names.

    I'll always appreciate the ladies that gave me the lime green talinum and a lavender pink autumn joy. They attended once, but I never saw them again so I could tell them how much I'm enjoying those plants.

    So it does wantomara...so it does. Hard to tell in photo sometimes what would be apparent in real life.

    Thanks, Mara. DH and I were discussing just yesterday how we didm't have any berry bushes,,,I hope it is! We miss the cedar waxwings. They have stopped coming.

    I have three kinds of Am. beauty berry. The purple, the white and the Black from Northern Mexico. I just planted out 8 of them down in my arroyo. I went back down the next day and three were torn out of the ground so I piled brush around them. two that I planted last year made it through the drought and were looking good with all the water in the arroyo. I planted the new ones in MUCK. It will dry out.

    Mara, I have 7-10 magenta A. Beautiberry volunteers available if you want them. I do not have space for them in my garden. Let me know.
