Palmbob, that is so cool!!! I love that. I must look for some to hang in my magnolia tree!
Can't believe it! I have a small houseplant "Donkey's Tail" but didn't know it was a sedum or much else about it. I have propagated several small ones from the pieces that fall off. This past summer several bloomed when left in my very hot greenhouse. An awsome Creamy, brown specked flower, totally enchanting! Can you tell me more about this plant? origin? climate tolerance???
I also would be interested in knowing more about this plant. My co-worker and I saw this in a magazine a month or so ago and thought it was neat.

Palmbob, I'm truly impressed with the length of your Burrow's tail. Looks like about 5 - 6 feet. In your zone it likely stays outdoors year-round. How old is it?
Mine are on a shelf, now reaching the floor and crawling along and blooming at about 4ft. I must get them in a hanging pot but I'm afraid of losing a lot of beads in the transplanting. Any tips for me?
Sorry, not my plants... but the climate they are in is a warm, coastal, never hot, never cold. No idea how old they are, and never transplanted them, either... sorry
