Hey im new around these parts. I was on a family vacation and saw a plant that i liked so i took a cutting (having some n00b 8th grade biology knowledge) hoping it would work out. I then had the forture of seeing some information about that very plant in some random store! I talked to the lady there and she told me it was a 'Ghost Plant' and that i should wait till the cutting 'calousses' and then plant it. anyway i figured that was the universes way to hinting at me to get into botany! so i went to the dollar store and picked up a buncha cheep seeds (like 1$ for like 5 different kind of plants). So ill try to start growing all of this. Im mostly here to try and find out about cool house plants to grow, or something i could grow outside in new mexico (dessert i know prolly not much). If any one has any suggestions for plants or for a beginers book in botany/horticulture id like to do some studying!!
thanks

Welcome, Koolaid. I live in California desert which is a little different from NM desert.
That sounds like a cool plant. I found some more info on it here.
