Casper - The Friendly Ghost Plant!

Last fall, we received this plant as gift. It’s a “ghost plant” (Graptopetalum paraguayense). 

We named it Little Casper.

Four months later, Little Casper is alive and well!

An added delight we discovered
 is that Little Casper self propagates. . .  

. . .when it drops it's leaves, new plants will grow from them.

I guess it reincarnates itself!

One of the primary functions of a leaf is to receive and capture energy from the sun and convert it into food, also known as photosynthesis.

Plants provide, not only for their own needs, but other living things as

well . . .sort of like local and individual, green, factories. In fact the term photosynthesis, literally means "to put together with light".

Now, how fabulous is that?!

Washington Square "Industrial" Park, NYC

Taking this a step further, we might think of clusters of plants, as solar-powered, industrial parks!
