Here is where I laugh at myself and this is the story. I am dreaming of gardening lately and, of course, I had to do some research into native and hardy plants. While snipping a plant description my Evernote told me I had a similar note, namely one snipped from the Wikipedia page for Bryophyllum pinnatum<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So, way back when my mysterious alien plant could’ve been a Lychee tree seedling (in my mind anyway), I did some research on the leaves and found Kalanchoe pinnatum, related to the Mother of a Thousand Children, called cathedral bells by the USDA<\/a> and Sweetheart plant by the University of Florida’s Center for Aquatic and Invasive Plants<\/a>.\u00a0 Are you laughing at me with me yet?\u00a0 Because, apparently, I figured out what my mystery alien plant was a while ago only I didn’t know I did, or I just promptly forgot about it.\u00a0 I wonder what else is tucked away in my Evernote.\u00a0 All of my years of OneNote use are merged in there too.<\/p>\n

The Wikipedia page has a few other names for my plant:<\/p>\n

Bryophyllum pinnatum<\/i>, also known as the Air Plant, Life Plant, Miracle Leaf, and Goethe Plant is a succulent plant<\/a> native to Madagascar.<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now I just need to figure out what I’m going to call it.\u00a0 I think I like Goethe Plant the best.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
