Look!: Our Hanging Houseplants

Look at them reach for the light (is that what they're doing?)! We woke-up this morning and saw our wall-mounted succulents (common names: donkey tail, string of pearls) in their new position and it put a smile on our face.

It sort of happened suddenly. They weren't like that yesterday... so we thought maybe they were giving us a sign. We opened up the shades for them and will be consulting our gardener mother later in the day. Anyone have a similar experience?

What is the name of the succulent in the middle of the photo? My nanny had tons of these when I was a kid and I wanted to plant some in a discarded toilet left in my back garden.

The middle one is the only one that I don't know the name of! I'm sorry :(

It appears to be some type of crassula (related to the jade plant). I've seen different varieties called string of buttons. The right variety would give you a similar look, in any case.

I was wrong. Sedum Hidakanum.
