is the plant that was covered in ice. Perhaps someone can tell me
what it is.

The next picture in the sequence is the one I posted last week
with it covered in ice.

I posted this link to the picture of the pot plant that was
covered in ice last week and so far no one has identified it for
me. Is it really so rare or did you miss that part of the
question? I would love to know what it is, and whether you think
it will survive being encased in ice. Its about two feet tall by
the way.

I "recognized" it as one my Mum had in her garden, but I don't have a clue
what it is I'm afraid.

If it's survived this far, it might but do be sure it's
draining. I wonder if it's a Ligustrum. Does it do anything
with regard to flowers?

I do not recall it ever flowering. Just Googled Ligustrum and I
don't see anything there that looks like it.

Keep the ideas coming please.

Has the look of a daphne to me, but some description of the flowers would be
helpful

Looks like an Aeonium. If it's anything like mine that got frosted in the
greenhouse during the recent cold spell, the answer as to whether it will
survive is no!

My first thought was an Aeonium, but I don't imagine that would have
survived being frozen. The other plants that come to mind are Daphne
laureola (spurge laurel) and Euphorbia amygdaloides (wood spurge); as
the latter is herbaceous I'll plump for spurge laurel

Try aeonium? There are green versions as well as the purple-black
one, and iirc they are hardier.

Janet

If Muddymike looks at the stems, those of Aeonium are succulent, and
those of Daphne laureola are woody. He should be able to eliminate at
least one of these.

I have a pot grown parsley outside. It has been frozen solid and
covered with 9-10 inches of snow,

Today it looks healthy, ready to pick and use.

This Daphne laureola
http://ispb.univ-lyon1.fr/cours/bota...e_laureola.jpg
looks very similar but none I have looked at have the curly
leaves in grouped in balls like mine.

It has survived very cold winters outside in the past but never
has it been ice bound like this year. Thinking about it I
remember this plant in this pot at my mothers house some 8 years
ago, it always lived outside then as well.

It does look like that Mike, only very etiolated as they say. The leaves
grow just like that and it seems to seed itself willy nilly around the
garden, never any flowers, bone hardy and as boring as that, just not
usually on such a long stem but if it had grown quite quickly and lost
all it's leaves i guess it would look like your photograph.

Wouldn't say herbaceous as they leaves are evergreen.
