LEMBA

Thisis the Lemba plant in my college nursery.  At one time, the plant in the Herb Garden had died and I was searching everywhere for a replacement.  Then I found a plantlet growing from the spot where the old one had perished.  I transplanted it into a pot and placed it in the nursery. So far my plant is doing well.  Hopefully I will get more plants growing from it.
