Does anyone know where I can locate the plant called "Baby's Tears"? I'm not even sure what category it fits into, but I remember growing it years ago, and I'd like to try growing it again. Any help will be appreciated! Thanks Prowheel |

Hi Marjorie, There are several plants called baby's tears, but the most common is Soleirolia soleirolii. It is a low, moisture-loving, tender creeper that forms a dense mat of sweet, tiny round leaves. Any local greenhouse specializing in houseplants should have it. There are also some online and catalog sources, including Well-sweep Herb Farm (www.wellsweep.com/Catalog_2009.pdf) and Davidson Greenhouse and Nursery (www.davidsongreenhouse.com/). I hope this helps!

Hi, Jessie: Thank you for the info. I've been to several greenhouses in my area in New York, but no one seems to have it. I WILL try the online greenhouses you mentioned. And yes, that does sound like the same plant I had. Thanks again Marjorie |
