Asparagus Fern

A simple statement about myself would be that I love plants. They can be indoor plants or outdoor plants, but when it comes down to it, I just love plants. When I happen to wander by the plant department at a home improvement store, more often than not, I bring one home. Not long ago I just had to pick up this asparagus fern. I really like the unique leaves that it has. This particular plant has now found its home in a bright red pot that sits in the middle of my kitchen table.

Identifying a Mystery Plant

My mother-in-law has the greenest thumb of anyone I know. Her houseplants are always gorgeous without a speck of dust or a brown leaf on them anywhere to be found. This is one of her favorites at the present time:

Whenever she clips it back, she just can't resist putting the cuttings in water to root. She has given us several of these plants that she has started in this fashion. There is only one problem, she doesn't know what kind of plant it is. I'm not real sure either. My guess is that it is a variety of a Wandering Jew, but I really don't know for certain. Currently, it has the sweetest little tiny white flowers:

I thought perhaps if any of you out there know the actual type of plant, you might be kind enough to pass that information on so that our little plant mystery will be solved once and for all.
