I¹ll even send a pic if you email me directly... Looks somehow to be related
to ³Wandering Jew² that I see planted in the ground. Brilliant green,
growing method like purple or green Wandering Jew with leaves developing
from a tubular stalk about as big around as a human finger. Slight
difference in leaves is that there is no ³fuzz,² but just glossy leaves that
curl back beautifully. Stalks put out shoots about as big around as a straw
which I cut off and root.

I have plenty of cuttings if anyone wants them. I grow this stuff in a
hanging basket and it¹s quite hardy, yet I¹ve never seen it flower. Seems as
though someone once referred to it as ³Dutchman¹s Pipe,² but Google tells me
this is not what it has referred to as such.

don't know what it is, but having lived here abouts off and on for 40
years or so I can tell you, you can expect some varieties of it to
send out a much thinner relatively branching flower stalkstlks with
the small white flowers at the ends. ' don't remember what time of
year that seems to happen, but with the weather lately, I sometimes
have trouble remembering what time of year it is right now.

ever get my digital camera back Ill post a little picture of one
somewhare on the net. soon as the stuff I didn't move into oblivion
last summer blooms again.

Got a field book somewhere. If no one else gets back to you on this,
Email me a reminder and I'll go look it up. (I'm oretty surre it has
been around long enough to be considered a native.)
