Hi

Could anyone help me identify a plant that was given to me as a gift?
A photo is at

http://star.pst.qub.ac.uk/~it/DSC02278.jpg

It grows lots of little plantlets on the edges of the leaves!

Thanks

Ian

The common plant which generates lots of plantlets on the leaves is one
I knew as a child as mother-of-thousands. This is Kalanchoe
daigemontiana aka Bryophyllum daigremontianum.

The habit of your plant looks different - more compact - but perhaps I
am misled by interpreting the photograph as a single plant, rather than
as several plants planted in a single pot.

It looks to me like a potful of small plants, the result perhaps of
growing on a handful of plantlets - it's exactly like the thickets of B
diagremontanum which used to establish themselves round the edges of my
cactus pots.

The fact that none of these leaves have plantlets suggests too that this
is a potful of young plants - as of course does the fact that they are
only 2-3 leaves high.
