Sandra:

I have several pics of this plant posted on GoY. They are so very common here.

Andrewr:

They bloom like this because all the flowers will develop little plantlets...then they drop to the ground and grow.

Mushybanna:

They initially grow upright, until the plantlets start developing from the flowers on top...then the weight pulls the top down.

this photo just shows them off so well....;-)

That makes sense then

Sandra:

Thanks! : > )

Andrewr:

I'm glad I answered your question.
