This is our Donkey Eared Fern. It really isn't a fern, but rather a member of the Kalanchoe family of plants. They produce small "babies" on the edge of the leaves that drop off, or can be pulled off and planted. They are really fun. The plant grows until it is about three-feet tall and produces the typical Kalanchoe "flowerlets" at the top, then dies. Freezing weather kills it immediately, but taking a few of the babies inside preserves them until next spring. We have not only the one you see here, but a variegated version with spots. Cool plant!
