Nice title. It really is turning out to be something of a mystery.
This is the plant I ordered in the spring that is supposed to be 'Blue Pearl' Sedem. This is one of the patented SunSparkler varieties. I moved it to a new space today, and here is what it looks like.
It does not look anything like the pictures you can find on line. ID apps say it is a Kalanchoe. Now, I'll NEVER bet the farm on the photo ID apps, but it does lend some weight to my thoughts.
Here is one pic of Blue Pearl from the web.
I contacted the seller. I don't think they did anything dishonest, but somebody could have mixed something up. She assures me this is 'Blue Pearl,' but it won't look like the pictures until it is older. OK...
Here is another picture from the web.
And this is a 5-year old one. Large leaves, doesn't look anything like my plant.
Well, here is the tiny new growth at the base of what I have. I suppose it's possible it will grow up to look as advertised. In fact, I'm the one who keeps pointing out how different plants can look at different times. But a complete change in form? We shall see!
I had a total rest day in mind, but ended up puttering at things that need to be done. For example: those of you who think I'm disciplined, I had left the total kitchen mess over the weekend. It was pretty bad. It's mostly cleaned up now. Played in the garden slowly and moved some things. Came home from the weekend with some new plants I'll show you soon. Did some computer stuff. Avoided a trip to the store, and hope to be able to continue to do so for a couple more days.
