Thornius The Bird Man Member # 5603 posted                       I was walking down the street yesterday and saw this plant growing around somebodys mailbox and was blown away by it but have no idea what it is.

I've had them forever. They're a perennial, low maintenence, propogate, like partial sun. They're cool little guys. I bought (well, my mother)5 them at a yard sale 10 years ago, and I have about 35 of them in a pot. bbbbbbbbb The Butterfly Lover Posts: 17 | From: Rhode Island | Registered: Jul 2005  |  Logged: 68.110.195.63 RugbyHukr Garden Pro!

I love it and she won't let me have it!!! Maybe now that I know what it is (she's been bugging me to ask ya'll) she will either let me have hers or go buy me one. bbbbbbbbb Vada in MS Mommy to Tommy, Edward, Jarod and baby on the way!

This year one of them flowered, very cool indeed! It put off a small stalk that looked nothing like the rest of the plant and it burst forth with almost a dozen little pink flowers. The flowers were star shaped and had very pointy petals. Small, but nice. John bbbbbbbbb Do you still have your childhood toys? I pay CA$H for older Hot Wheels from the '60-'70's.
