What Did they Sell Me?

Fear not, for I - having had to look up said Alyssum - have learned it is an incrediblely diverse group. Perhaps its technically true, but not your expected version?

I've considered that, but I have no experience in the other varieties, except for the carpet of snow that have a different color, I think they call it, Royal Carpet..., but in that case the plant looks exactly the same.

So it's definitely a possibility that I have a different variety of Alyssum...but which one...

Alyssum is very ground hugging and has only tiny leaves and bendy stems. No way could that be the alyssum that I know.

Aha, I thought you knew what it was When it flowers I guess we're all going to be happy to see what it is!

 

[alp]

Now they look like astroemeria!

I can't wait I'll post the pics when they do flower...

 

[alp]

This pic just reminds me of my alstroemeria.. In fact, the reddish flower bud next to them at the bottom right-hand corner seems to confirm that these plants are self seeded from the flowering plant ie. alstroemerias!

I'll post the pics when they do flower...

Has it flowered yet?

 

[alp]

The 5th from @Greenhorn are altroemerias, most probably. @roadrunner 's pic could be that of a lily, not daylily though.

 

[MaryMary]

Below that is some Alstroemeria - Peruvian Lilly.

She already knew that, @alp.

I want to know what roadrunner's got.

 

[alp]

I'm getting senile!

I Don't think Roadrunner will have flowering on them for at least Two or four months Probably closer to four

 

[roadrunner]

A couple of them look like they're trying to produce a bud, but not sure if that's just new growth...I keep checking everyday

 

[DirtMechanic]

I just keep coming by to see. I think a discovery party will be in order.

 

[roadrunner]

The plant still hasn't flowered, but whatever it is it fared well in the last couple cold snaps that saw temps well below the freezing point for several nights.

FWIW, If that helps to rule anything out...until I get a pic of its flower.

Hey is at least a zone measurement. Are gonna pass out cigars or something? Brownies work for me...
