    Hi Everyone! I'm new here :) and I need some help to ID this strange looking plant that I found in my garden.

    The leaves actually grow on top of each other at the tip of the leaves,spanning like a cluster of leaves.

    Thank you in advance and have a great day ahead to all the forumers here.

    Whirofwings...I looked in your garden and I have never seen such a plant, but I think it is one I want and I don't even keep any houseplants...where did you find this?

    It reminds me of a Mother of Thousands, Mexican Hat Plant, Kalanchoe daigremontiana.
    Does each of those little leaves growing on the edge of the leaves turn into another plant?

    And oh yeah... WELCOME! :stew2:

    It is a Bryophyllum/Kalanchoe, possibly B. pinnatum. Not sure if they've reclassified all Bryo's to Kalanchoe now. Many Bryophyllum grow plantlets on the leaf edges.

    Thank you all for your replies. :oops: Sorry that my replies are a bit late due to my internet connection problem.

    Where I got, it is a mystery. One fine day as I walk through my garden, I spotted :eek: this funny plant out of no where in one of my pots. Must have been the birds that flock in and out everyday I believe. ;)

    I believe Rosemarie got the name right. Thanks to everyone for your help.

    All those tiny little leaves around the edges of each leaf are young plants which can be manually rooted, or will root themselves when they eventually fall off into soil. Babies galore :D
