Mystery Plant in package

[Gr8tfuldad]

Someone on Facebook mailed me two plants as they were cleaning up their yard. The one on the right is a bougainvillea? She said she might send a Natal plum? Is that the one on the left? I am new to both of these species, any guidance is appreciated!

Well, the one on the left looks like good firewood.

If you’re in NJ, it’s unlikely a bougie would survive in the yard. The right one looks more like a euonymus of some type, left looks dead, and I wouldn’t hold out too much hope for the right one either, but good luck.

I was suppose to have this plant ready for showing next week, should I be concerned?

Next week? Nah, should be plenty of time…use a little Superthrive.

I have bougainvillea and Natal Plum. If you want some cuttings, I could get some started for you. Those don't look too promising. Good luck with that show....

just get some leaves and flowers from the silk plant store, glue them on. You'll be fine

Great idea, now I have to find my Michaels Coupons...
We should just start a new category...Trees That Once Were...I have a few that are ready now!

I think these are called dead plants.

I won’t bear to let the old lady know…the few dollars shipping was worth the laugh.

Was it the lady from phoenix? I got a few from her. I’ll bump my old thread with some current pics. Btw both bougs just old. If it’s who I’m thinking of, they were planted in 1988.
