plant identification
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. http://tinypic.com/view/?pic=212haxl http://tinypic.com/view/?pic=212hkih The plants at the base are busy lizzies. Any other help with increasing the stock of these unusual plants most welcome |

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 -- Kay |

They were purchased at a county show and the guy said his wife was ill and he did not know any thing about them They're Aeoniums and come in many colour variations. The darker one, if it goes truly burgundy black is Aeonium Schwarzkopf. They're not hardy in this country, except in the extreme South West by the sea or in e.g. Scilly. They get top heavy, too, so need staking as they grow. Keep them dry, well drained and in a light but frost free environment for the winter, e.g. a window sill or something of that sort, if you haven't a heated greenhouse or conservatory. The good bit is that if a head does break off it's quite easy to propagate! We grow them here and they're very popular with customers who have the right conditions for them.
