  Hi Helen, noticed your origin line is from the States. Have you left
  us temporarily?
  Anyway, there are numerous plants that spring to mind, but the most
  available (to us) is Mother of Millions (Thousands, if yours is a
  piker. :-)). It is a succulent with long narrow leaves, deeply
  indented, and babies grow at each indentation. I'm sorry I can't track
  down its botanical name.
  Another one is a grayish-green succulent shaped like a rosette when
  young. As the stem elongates with growth, the rosette remains only at
  the top, but each easily detachable leaf, if merely left on the
  windowsill, will grow a tiny plantlet. Any that fall into other pots
  will root also. At one point, I had 50 or 60 of them in various stages
  of "pregnancy" lying on the windowsill. :-)
  Again, I haven't found the botanical names for these plants.
                     ...Sandra...
