My black thumb...

I have never had much luck when it comes to plants.  I always need a partner with a green thumb when I set about to nurture greenery.  This time I have a great partner, my house helper!  A colleague gave me some cuttings, and my helper helped me get them into the pots.  Two weeks later they're not only still alive, they're doing WELL!!

This kind apparently will grow some fruit on it.  Haven't seen it yet.

These are still tiny but I love that the leaves are variegated.  

This kind grows on tall stems, and the stems have huge pokers on them.  

I won't be transplanting them with my bare hands anytime soon!

This kind is SO pretty - LOVE the stripes.  I was told it's called a Wandering Jew.

I couldn't resist this one - it's HEART-shaped with a pink center!!

This one also has pink on it and is lacy - how cool is that?!
