Sedum morganium is the Burros tail I think Donkey ears is Kalanchoe tomentose we used to call it th scorched blanket blanket because of the black edges on the leaves.

dear mel
I think it is called donkey tail. Does it have very small leaves that almost fall off as you touch them, and shaped like a banana, it also has a small red flower? It grows over the edeg of pots in lengths like plaits. Thats what I have and thats what I call it anyway. If you find one they grow easily from a cutting or even a dropped off leaf. michelle |

Hi Melthe,
I have the donkey ears your referring to! It's name is Kalanchoe gastonis bonnieri, previous known as Bryophyllum gastonis-bonnieri. I love this plant!! Go to www.killerplants.com/plant-of-the-week/20030915.asp
There's a picture to compare too!

Hi Mel
Your definately referring to the burros tail, but the donkey ears are an unusual succulant, sorry i was referring
to the name, but the description is burros tail you can get them at most nurseries.
