Would you agree?

Would you agree that this is a Ric Rac species? I have a Fish Bone (pic 4/5). It’s much smaller that the plant in the first 3 pics. When I researched it, a Ric Rac species of Fish Bone is what I found…I think 🤔 lol if I understood it correctly🤷🏻‍♀️

@PioneerRutabaga I have seen these names used interchangeably, but to me they are def different. I *thought* that the Ric-Rac was the smaller one tho. Now I’m gonna have to go down the rabbit 🐰 🕳 to find out what’s what.

Ahhh, guess we need to use the scientific names! 😂
Btw- this plant is GORGEOUS!! And did you know that they flower?? 🌸
@SunnyPlants can I just tell you how much I truly appreciate your input!! I can always count on you for something insightful and I just wanted to say thank you for it!! 🤗💜 And yes, I guess the scientific names are helpful….🤣 im still not completely sure what I have tho!! Im actually thinking that they may both be that common one….the Anthony one…I guess one is just ALOT smaller than the other?🤷🏻‍♀️ and no!! No idea they flowered!! 🤯
@PioneerRutabaga This is such a sweet message! 💚 Thank you! This made my day!
I wouldn’t worry too much about the names. They need the same care, so that’s what’s important.
Mature plants can flower and their flowers are stunners! (One thing that encourages flowering once mature is keeping them root bound in their pot.)
Did you order your plant online? It’s sooo pretty! I *need* one! 😂
