mobile Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Hi, One of my kids took a liking to the plant pictured below, which was on Gert's stall at EEE2011. I bought it but forgot to ask Gert what it was so does anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadly Weapon Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 (edited) Looks like some window plant(Fenestraria) for me. I remember watching some document where David Attenborough talked about them. Edited July 7, 2011 by Deadly Weapon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobile Posted July 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Thank you. Found this after your post, which makes reference to David Attenborough's ' The Private Life of Plants: A Natural History of Plant Behaviour' book: http://www.asknature.org/strategy/6eb4107cbcdde41d35818191b29f60f5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheInactiveMoth Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Indeed, it is a window plant! I forget the scientific name though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel van den Broek Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 (edited) It's a Fensetria allright, I think F. rhophalophylla. Edited July 7, 2011 by Marcel van den Broek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Stevens Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Hi, Looks more likely to be Frithia pulchra to me, the flower colour will settle it, fenestraria will be white, Frithia pink.
