    Piggyback plant (Tolmiea menziesii) I had several many years ago in Florida but had to give all my plants away when I moved back to Texas. Haven't found one at any garden centers, guess they are out of fashion by now. :rolleyes:

    Anyone have a plantlet ready to leave it's Mom for trade or postage?

    I had one many years ago. I love them. I think I will go out and git me one. I would let it live outside in the Summer and then in the greenhouse for the Winter.

    Thanks for the idea toni....Trying to get back to normal again.

    Did you ever crush their leaves? They remind me of cucumbers. Sorry I don't have one to share, though. I hope someone has one for you. If I did I would have to wait for another month or two to send it anyway. It is so cold at nighttime here yet. I think it is really the 2nd of March and not April.

    I never crushed the leaves but I started many of plants using the babies on the leaves and potting them right off the mama.

    I would rather crush my Cardamum. That is like a drug. :D :D :D
