I've always known it as 'Mother of Millions'... and that name sure fits this plant. I picked up two fallen leaves about 2-3 wks ago intending to pass them on to a friend... instead they stayed on the table several weeks and EVERY tip of those leaves made babies... with little hairlike roots going every which-a-way... no water.... nothing! She transplanted them and will have a veritable forest of these lil boogers. A friend in Australia sent me photos where this plant grows wild... quite like our bluebonnets... fields and fields of this plant with all those lovely red blooms. She considers them quite invasive and was amused that some of us actually grow them. <BR/><BR/>Love your blog!

I didn't take a pic, for some reason, but it was really quite bizarre...Claudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04568424354642247198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766825872703394586.post-67411936810065891662009-02-22T06:13:00.000-08:002009-02-22T06:13:00.000-08:00Thanks Claude!
