Tubular shaped leaves. Plantlets grow on edges of leave. Will bring forth many new plants.

Plantlets growing on the tips of the leaves. Rio de Janeiro, early summer.


babies showing up all over the place, despite a weed cloth and thick layer of rocks... uh oh

Even the plantlets have a tubular growth pattern--I love them!

Getting big in it's original location. Always noticed by visitors. An attention getter.

A tall, sort of thin plant. It seems very happy in the dirt.
