2. Thanks! I don't know where they originated, but they do well here, outside even!

I just love the texture, the color and the way they open.

I'm glad you enjoyed seeing them, my dear NJCher!

I'm starting a new hobby of terrariums and learning lots about special tiny plants that thrive in a closed environment. Although this plant is not suitable, I may try one someday for my outdoor flower & shrub garden.

Thanks for posting. .......
