what I have growing...

[RV's mom]

I have the elephant foot growing in abundance, but RV partakes lightly when offered. she sniffs, pushes, sniffs, pushes, walks over it..

Can anyone identify this plant? It was given to us by a neighbor who says it will take over the garden if we plant it (we'll put it in front where RV doesn't have access). She called it 'witches nose' but I cannot find any reference anywhere..

And the cactus we have in the upper level in the back yard. This pic was taken before I lost some to topple - overwatered and very heavy. RV is currently enjoying a small abundance of cactus. I like to keep this for winter feeding as my grass dies off during the winter.

Thanks for looking, and thanks for your input.

Its commonly called Mother of Millions. It produces tiny new plantlets all along the edges of each leaf.

I've also seen it referred to as Devil's Backbone, but never Witche's Nose.
