| 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 |
