Need help identifying these plants: Solved

Mystery Solved. The plant is Sweet William. Thank You!

I used a wildflower mix last spring, 2010, I no longer have the container which provided the names of the flower seeds included in the mix. These plants sprouted last year, never flowered  but stayed green all winter here on Cape Cod, zone 6.  I am hoping someone out there can identify these plants.  Thanks.

Annathea writes: Thank you for your help,I should upload a more detailed picture, it is hard to tell but the plant is not a succulent. I don"t think "peperomia dolabriformis" is hardy to zone 6, where I live. I hope that if the plant flowers it will be easier for me to ID. Posted: 5:34 pm on April 9th
