Does anyone know about a flowering house plant called Star of David?

It has small white flowers almost plastic looking. It has several smaller white flowers whith pink centers that make up a larger flower that slightly resembles a Star of David, hence the name.

Reply:It is a Persian Buttercup. It's known as the ultimate survivor. It grows in Israel, thriving in the harsh dry conditions that would kill many other plants.

In botanical circles, it is also known as a type of "Resurrection plant"- can live without water %26amp; is Resurrected when water becomes available.

The cells of the root assume the form of interlocking stars of David.
Reply:I believe it is also called the survivor flower.
Reply:I've seen several in the houses of my parents' friends. It's a cute flower. What did you want to know about it?



The survivor flower is not the right one: "survivor" exhibits the Mogen David pattern at the cellular level, not in the flower.
