Title: ID please - rude plant!
Post by: Grandma on August 16, 2007, 14:54:39
I've split my big plant into six smaller ones and want to Freecycle some. It likes to live up to its neck in water. Can anyone give it a name, please?

It was given to me - (with a grin and a wink!) - as a 'pubic hair plant'!

I can't offer it as that, can I?  :o :o :o

I bought a Juncus Spiralis from Ikea and it looks very similar

It likes to be kept wet too.
What do you think??
Actually- you'd probably sell more with the other name!!!

Well mine look NOTHING like that and a good job too  ;D

I can't think of any names at the moment that aren't rude!

Behave, Trixie!  :o

You'll have other folks making suggestions - like 'Long Green Bush' - although the marrow people got that one first, I think.

Thanks, Tin Can - that's it exactly! I can Freecycle some of the spares without blushing now.
