The plant is such a nasty weed, many out there would gladly give you plants
for free. Most people get it as a hitchhiker in a pot of something purchased
that was far more valuable.


I have one variety of this plant. I used to have the more tubular
variety(B. delagoensis). The picture displayed showed a much larger leaf
than the one that I have now. That leaf appeared huge in comparrison to
the variety I've got. I will attest to your statement that it becomes a
hitchhicker in pots. I have at least one in every pot of cacti and
succulents I own. I sometimes pull them out like weeds and compost them,
but I so love the red flowers that appear unexpectedly in the late
winter, I forgive it. (I also get lots of jades in various pots of
cactus I have from dropped leaves). If "your name" would like one
variety of them, I can send you a few in an envelope from my supply.
They're not the tubular or the larger leafed hybrid. And I learned that
my common name was "Pregnancy plants" from my first one I had come
across in 1979 in Denver.
madgardener who is having to consider where to put all the cacti and
succulents inside this year fearing an early frost and
fall...........very strange August indeed
