#6 this clump is in our old veggie garden. i don't know what she may have planted. could they be onions? something else? I do believe i have enought to share, whatever they are...
3.18.09 thinking now they're most likely spring onions.
3.31.09 yup... multiplying onions to be more likely. i seem to remember planting a small bunch of them. voila!
so yes, trade fodder now!

Certainly no expert, but #1 looks like some sedum, #2 hens and chicks or similar, #3 oxalis, #4 ? is it a vine? leaves look like carolina jessamine, #5 ajuga, and I'm probably wrong, but #6 looks like some type of grass.
If you break off a leaf from #6, does it smell oniony? It looks like chives to me.
Check out this article for identifying your succulents: http://davesgarden.com/guides/articles/view/1112/
#6 looks like blue-eyed grass, sisyrinchim angustifolia, to me. Native Texas wildflower that's very nice in the garden. If that's what it is, it should have tiny blue flowers with yellow eyes in a couple of weeks.
Cajun, your silver succulent might be a ghost plant. However, I have one that looks identical to ghost plant but has another name. Mine isn't hardy, but both should be for you.
All right, I'll throw my hat in the ring...
#1 favors Delospermum or ice plant. If it is, it should have delightful daisylike blooms. http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/1928/
#2 photo ~ left to right, Graptopetalum ~ ghost plant There are many different types... http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/351/
#3 Oxalis pretty purple leaves that will have white blooms... http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/1241/
#4 Tucked on the right are some hen 'n chicks ~ Sempervivum. http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/search.php?q=hen+and+chicks+sempervivum
Unsure of the little buddies in front.
#5 I believe is Ajuga or bugleweed. Pretty purple blooms in the spring. http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/search.php?q=ajuga I also have a type of weed here that favors but doesn't bloom.
#6 If this does smell like an onion, I would suspect it is an Allium or chive. If so, it should deliver some white blooms later this spring.
Look forward to hearing what others think and see what blooms for you this season.... pod
You guys are awesome!!!!
