What is my plant?

I don’t know what my plant is; I got her as a cutting from a jumble sale.


She is rubber plant, I think. With tiger stripes leaves and with plant buds(i don’t know what else to call them) on the end of the leaves which when drop off form new plants. Now she has started to flower, she has never done this before; the flowers are like bluebells only there are lilac.


Any ideas?


Thank you.

What is my plant?
The description sounds like "Mother of thousands"(Sorry,can't recall the botanical name).This has leaves similar to the rubber plant,with leaflets on the edges which root as you describe.


The flowers aren't particularly attractive,"Mother of thousands" is grown as a novelty.


Later;Just had a look at your pic.Fairly sure it's as I described,the centre spike being the flower stem. :-)

Reply:picture please
Reply:Could be a Hosta??
Reply:That is not a rubber plant, or a hosta, or bluebells. It is a tropical of some kind, will have to do some more research to identify it.
Reply:Not:


1. a rubber plant


2. a hosta


3. a spider plant


Try Woody's idea.


When I enlarge the pic it's too fuzzy for me to tell for sure but it doesn't look like any of the ones cited above. I have all of those.





Good Growing!
