Okay, i give up... what are they? - June 9th, 2004 at 12:54 AM
OKie dokie, i've got two plants that i can't figure out. I have a white plant that looks like a dusty miller, only more tree like, and less full sized leaf like. Could it just be a big dusty miller?
Dusty Something
Annnnnnnnnnnd now, here's a mystery of a plant that my mom calls a "Chinese Prong." But i can't find anything online about them... They love water, and grow very much like a Bird of Paradice. As a new leave grows, the furthest one on the outside of the plant dies and falls off. This creates a diamond pattern as it creates bark. the ones my mother has are MUCH LARGER than this one. The leaves are the size of a baseball hat, and multiple spike leaves come out of one shoot from the middle. It doesn't flower from what i can see, but it might. Annnnnnnnnd, it propegates from roots underground by shooting up a baby leaf spike, and all that.
The roots shoot off of one big main fleshy root which splits off into many. *thinks* i can't really think of anything else to say about it ^.^ I'm sure you're tired of reading by now lol. Anywho, here's a pic:
Chinese Prong
