June 11, 200619 yr My wife was given this potted plant last year. Nice green colour, didn't seem to do anything much except get bigger Now it's had babies, millions of them. The leaves have what look like flowers along the edges, they are actually tiny but fully formed plants complete with roots. They drop off, blow around a bit, then take root, everywhere A closer view of the 'babies' I've never seen anything quite like it before, amazing. "I don't want to know why you can't. I want to know how you can!"
June 11, 200619 yr Can't help you with the name, but it really looks amazing. Hope somebody knows the name, because I want one!!!
June 11, 200619 yr My wife calls it kwam tai ngai bpen The translation is something like "it will die with the leaf upside down".
June 11, 200619 yr Author Can't help you with the name, but it really looks amazing. Hope somebody knows the name, because I want one!!! How many 000's do you want?? Do you get into BKK often, you're welcome to a few hundred "I don't want to know why you can't. I want to know how you can!"
June 11, 200619 yr They look nice but you may regret having planted a few in the garden once they have blossomed.
June 11, 200619 yr That really IS a cool looking plant Will have to see what I need to start planting and potting in Phuket soon!

Hi Crossy The boss lady tells me it is กุหลาบหิน gulub hin (my phonetic spelling) translated as stone rose. Have one which thrives in poor soil, the little plantlets root themselves when knocked off and it does not appear to be a problem at the moment after 3-4 years. TBWG
