Flower Friday - Mother of Millions Flower

Once you have the Madagascan native Mother of Millions plant in your garden you never get rid of it! It grows little plants on the tips of the leaves and they drop off regularly and attempt to grow wherever they fall!   

For a while I had one of them in almost every pot!! Most are gone now after vigilantly searching out and pulling up the baby plants for a couple of years. This one secretly popped up at the beginning of the year and was hidden under a table where there are lots of other plants. I didnt notice it until recently when it eventually popped up above the table looking for the sun!! :o). Now it has finally shown us its beautiful flower!  In extras is a shot from underneath.

Unfortunately it has become a destructive weed in some states of Australia and many attempts have been made to eradicate it, no luck yet though!!
