    My wife bought me a pot plant at Christmas but we can't remember what it was called. All of the flowers have died off now as have some of the leaves, but it is putting out a small amount of new growth and I've just trimmed off the dead flowers, their stems and the dead leaves (due to under-watering).

    Description:

    - The leaves are like those of a succulent, almost diamond shaped and rounded jagged/frilled towards the tip
    - The flowers were white and, to me at least, looked like miniature roses
    - The leaves had glitter sprinkled all over them (not a natural phenomenon I'm sure ;) ))

    I hope this is an adequate description. :)


    Thanks

    :smile: Hi ... it could be a Kalanchoe which can come in white. I have several in pink, red and orange. The glitter was a Christmas 'decoration' ... we get Poinsettias done like that here.
