Cacti

[Hivetool]

Can any member please inform me of the name of this cacti. I have been through wiki but there are thousands of different species.

It has small daisy like flowers.

If it's what I think, I have loads in the garden.Does it produce *babies* all around it attached to the *mother* plant? Does it flower once every few years and then the mother plant die? Mine in flower right now are toppling over.It's not really a cactus. I'll have to ask my daughter the name when she comes back, as I've forgotten

Hi Jean,
The answer is yes to all those questions. As you can see its in flower now with plenty of young buds.

Looks a bit like a house leek to me (but I'm probably wrong). Its a succulent plant that has its 'babies' form around the base of the parent plant.

French: joubarbe
Latin: Jovis barba
English ??? Jupiter's beard ???

Your right Ribblesbees, it is a houseleek, the common houseleek I think

Sorry to inform you guy's that its not a common houseleek.
One, the body of the plant is different, two, the stem from plant to flower is not as a houseleek, thirdly the flowers themselves are different.

Oh well back to the drawing board.

Well I did say I was probably wrong.

I've managed to find the English equivalent of joubarbe, and it's common house leek. So I'm in the same *wrongness*
