Has anyone ever heard of a plant called "Gold of Ophir"? It reseeds itself like crazy, and, unfortunately, a few days before I found Dave's Web, I threw out a huge bagful of it. It has small fleshy leaves, and tiny hot pink flowers on long, thin, wiry (hair-like) stems above the foliage. After the flowers come tiny gold "bb's" or seed pods. They grow like crazy! I got it at a quaint little nursery called Blue Moon Gardens in East Texas. I can't remember the proper name, only the one listed above. This is my first post. I've so enjoyed reading the forums. I've learned so much!
