And also included a picture of the foliage…
But since I can’t ever leave well enough alone I decided to chop up this perfectly good plant and make more (hope you don’t mind Ricki).
And since I’ve never been one to waste a flower I took the blooms in the house and stuck them in a vase. That’s when things got interesting…
Little plants started forming all over the former bloom spike...
So tiny, this must be the smallest foliage in my garden (technically not yet in the garden but hopefully you’ll forgive me on that point)…
Visit Pam's blog Digging for more Foliage Follow-up...no doubt much larger foliage than you've seen here.
Love that orange vase. Clever clever....and nice design with the plant. I've never seen this before. Thanks for the share and creative idea.
ReplyDeleteMe too, picked it up for something like $4 at my friend JJ's shop Digs here in Portland.
DeleteYour presentation is beautiful and it looks as though you will have plants to share at the next swap. A tree of life.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I'll wait a year before I share, so they're a little bigger!
DeleteWith that orange container, I think I know what your occupation is! The scalloped foliage is equally impressive.
ReplyDeleteIt's just an all around beautiful plant isn't it!? (I had no idea the orange vase would be so popular...)
DeleteThat's so pretty with the orange vase. All the new plants will be a nice bonus too.
ReplyDeleteI wish they would continue growing on the branch forever, wouldn't that be cool?
DeleteLooks like a mother-of-thousands in its reproductive drive. That's a pretty cool discovery you made. And yes, my foliage this month is quite large in comparison.
ReplyDeleteMust produce more plants!!! (I like that)
DeleteLove your vase!! That looks very beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks Louis!
DeleteI like that Loree, it looks like a simple oriental flower arrangement in that vase!
ReplyDeleteOh yes...very true!
DeleteWell look at that. As Darla would say, "Well, I'll be dipped in peanut butter." I love the danger element to this tableau. It's so YOU. :)
ReplyDeleteDanger? What danger?
DeleteTerrific! Such a beautiful freak of a plant--love it!
ReplyDelete"Freak of a plant"...gosh now I love it even more!
DeleteThanks for documenting the strange goings-on of this plant. I continue to be fascinated by its many inventive ways of reproducing. My little start obviously went to the right home.
ReplyDeleteGlad you think so! So you've never had this happen?
DeleteOh yes...and other things, like if a leaf falls or breaks, it begins to produce new plants along the edges or the break. I think I wrote about it once, a long time ago, but I didn't have such swell photos to back up the post.
DeleteI love your little foliage! (And the little orange egg vase, too--that's so cool.)
ReplyDeleteI believe you need to have a vase for every possible bloom...this one actually comes in very handy!
DeleteYou did nicely in that exchange. Ricki seems to have a way with small and fascinating foliage - I snagged Ledebouria socialis from her and I'm loving its freckled foliage.
