Some Sort of Kalanchoe
I love to share plants out of my garden, and this is one of the most fun to share. If you break off a leaf and lay it on the ground or in a pot, each little bud that's around the rim of the leaf sprouts new roots and grows into a whole new plant.
It goes by lots of different names but my two favorite are "Donkey Ears" and "Fertility Plant." It gets the Fertility Plant name because it is such a prolific reproducer. And yes -- it does seem to work. I've given starters to several friends who were trying unsuccessfully to have babies -- and every one of them ended up pregnant within about two more months. Certainly there's nothing to it, but it is a strange and fun co-ink-y-dink.
The Donkey Ears name is the one I like to use when I share the plant with kids who show an interest in gardening. They're almost certain to be successful with this one because it grows so easily. They will have nice tall plants that look like donkey ears to share with their own friends in a very short time.
