Re: Plant ID help please

Kitty, I have a Mother of Thousands which I got from a Botanical garden.
They told me it is from Madagascar. It is a great house plant in the
winter. I would think in a warmer climate it could mother thousands. Each
leaf supports lots and lots of little seeds that look like ticks. They will
fall off as they mature.
When I looked up Mother of Thousands plant with goggle it came up with this
name.
Kalanchoe daigremontiana
at this web site.

Mine had the neatest bloom this winter. Very interesting plant.
I hope that helps.

This plant seller sometimes like to give me weird things - often things
she
doesn't have names for. Today she gave me a Zamia pumila, and I did find
it
in AHS.
Anyone else grow this?  I'm expecting Jim to pipe up!

Also for Jim and any of you far southern folk, and for northerners, like
Sue
who love houseplants, could you look at this photo for me?

She ripped these leaves off another plant that seemed to have the same
form
and size as the Zamia.  Anyone recognize this?  When I asked, she
mentioned
something about mothers and thousands, but clearly couldn't remember.
Does
it look like some sort of Kalanchoe?
