    I admired this plant in a friend's yard and she gave me some cuttings that rooted quite nicely (see pic). It grows close to the ground, it's leaves in a rosette formation. Each new rosette throws air roots that attach themselves into the soil. The leaves are mottled with white and yellow dots. It appears to be a succulent, but I can't find it in any of my reference sources. I could sure use some help! WZ

    I have one similar to this and it's called "Youth and Old Age" ~ I think an Echiveria (sp? or Echevera)?

    Hey, Elaine...you are absolutely right, I think. I looked it up on Botany.com, and found a photo. I haven't witnessed the bloom yet, but everything else fits...Thanks!
