Question
I remember going to my Grandma's house and seeing several unique looking plants and want to figure out their names and can't find anything.  

One was a green pointed leaf plant that would make little baby plants all along the edge of the leaf.

One was a fuzzy catus plant that would make one big orange/reddish bloom with 5 petals like once a year.

And the last one was one that we always called the jelly bean plant.  The leaves looked like jelly beans and if I remember correctly when they would fall off they would make new plants.

Unfortunatly I don't have pictures to send to help identify, I just though that I would try and see if you might now what they are.

Thanks,
Jennifer


Answer
1.  Green pointed leaf with baby plants along the edge could be - I hope - the very popular "Piggyback plant"

This is not a rare characteristic - Plant leaves are not just for photosynthesis, and many are modified for reproducing tiny plants at the edges of their leaves which are shed from parent leaves and root on the earth below.

2.  There are several Cacti that fit your description.

Please see images of the "Barrel Cactus":

And if you don't see anything there that looks familiar, see the link on the Cactus Museum (http://www.cactusmuseum.com/nursery.asp) which lists retailers who have hundreds of Cactus photos - one of them will almost certainly be the one you are looking for!

3.  Sedum morganianum goes by the name "Jelly Bean Plant". And it does have the habit, as do all succulents, of dropping its little jellybean leaves into the ground from whence forth spring new Jelly Bean Plants.  Please see the photo at Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedum_morganianum) to confirm.

Have we hit the nail on the head yet here, Jennifer?  Let me know!
