Linda Lewis: Mystery plant stonecrop; Currys say: live for ever List of names has grown: Stonecrop, Live for Ever, Joy of Autumn, Farewell to Autumn, Orphine; and sedum, a cool plant! Responses from Linda Lewis, Roberta Curry, Dinah Perkins, and Saskia Greene, who loves a good plant mystery re: Mystery Plant PhotoTo Marsha via ColumbiaMagazine.com If your plant has thick glossy leaves I believe the common name is stonecrop. There is also a variety that has reddish-colored leaves. s/Linda Lewis Thanks. That was quick! If other readers have additional comments on the plant's origin in Adair County, its uses, or other interesting stories, the information is welcome. -ED The Currys called it "Live for ever" To editor, CM:The mystery plant is called a "live for ever." That is what I've always known it by. My grandmother has them around her house. My husband's family is from Columbia. His grandfather was Dallas Chester Curry & his grandmother is Mabel Burton Curry. I did some research on the web & here is a link that I found Gardening in Arizona, which adds another name, "Orphine," to the list. Roberta Curry With that information, we want to add a link to the University of Arkansas' page on the plant, which also goes by Autumn Joyas well as stonecrop and live for ever. It's a sedum. Would probably make a great Green roof -ED Saskia Green adds "Farewell to Autumn" to list of names To ColumbiaMagazine.com:Without seeing this plant in person, I would say it is called "Autumn Joy" Sedum, which is sometimes called stonecrop, or "Farewell to Autumn." I always love trying to identify a good mystery plant! s/Saskia Green 'Sedum,' if it turns burgundy color in fall, Donna Perkins says To Columbiamagazine.com: It looks like a sedum plant. It will turn to a burgundy color in the fall if this is what it is. s/Dinah Perkins This story was posted on 2007-08-08 07:31:03
