-=> Quoting Sandra Peake to Helen Peagram <=-
Hi Sandra! nice to hear from you again.
SP> Hi Helen, noticed your origin line is from the States. Have you left
SP> us temporarily?
Nope, just that I get my packets and return my replies to Karen Minzias
board in California. Therefore a Us address.
SP> Anyway, there are numerous plants that spring to mind, but the most
SP> available (to us) is Mother of Millions (Thousands, if yours is a
SP> piker. :-)). It is a succulent with long narrow leaves, deeply
SP> indented, and babies grow at each indentation. I'm sorry I can't
SP> track down its botanical name.
I have a botanical name now, it is Kalanchoe Tubiflora or another is
Kalanchoe Daigremontiana Tubiflora. I just remembered myself that another
name for it was Mother of Millions.
SP> Another one is a grayish-green succulent shaped like a rosette when
SP> young. As the stem elongates with growth, the rosette remains only
SP> at the top, but each easily detachable leaf, if merely left on the
SP> windowsill, will grow a tiny plantlet. Any that fall into other pots
SP> will root also. At one point, I had 50 or 60 of them in various
SP> stages of "pregnancy" lying on the windowsill. :-)
This doesn't sound like the one I'm looking for.
SP> Again, I haven't found the botanical names for these plants.
Thanks for the thought any way! . I'll be leaving all my plants
in the hands of my mother for almost a month, as well as my dog and cat.
Going to England to spend Christmas with our daughter.
Helen
