Strange Plant
While this missive is not concerned with either bromeliads or
mediterranean plants, I'm impressed with the wide range of plant
people that can be contacted on these two lists. I got the inquiry
below and thought I would make his photos available to these two
groups to see if anyone can come up with some ideas about the
identity of the plant. I will put them on the "Other Pictures" page
at http://www.charlies-web.com/assorted_pics/contentszz.html. They
were sent by the following! "mayflower" <mayflower@copperhill.com>
One of the things I like about my web page is that it seems
to attract questions about and pictures of strange plants.

I have a houseplant that grows on top of the soil. The
leaves are about 4" to 6" long and about 1/2" wide. They are
speckled like a trout; however, the trout lily has a different bloom
than this plant. This one has a bloom that is very insignificant and
the bloom appears on a long shoot, much like a spider plant. The
bloom reminds me of coral belles.
I believe they are a light pink or white and make a cluster
on the end of the shoot. The plant has roots that grow in the dirt;
however, it also has a bulb looking thing that sits on top of the
soil. Reminds me of the way peperomia grows. The plant itself grows
about 8 to 10 inches tall with smaller ones growing from it. I
believe it could be some kind of succulent, but not sure.
