Can these plants be identified.
They were purchased at a county show and the guy said his wife was ill and
he did not know any thing about them
Both are very similar .The darker one goes blacker when in bright sunlight.
How are they propagated and are they hardy.

They're Aeoniums. I've never grown them, but googling should throw up
more info

The plants at the base are busy lizzies.

No, they're not! They're begonias. Much nicer, IMO
Busy Lizzies are Impatiens

Any other help with increasing the stock of these unusual plants most
welcome
