Prowler - its an erodium, a member of the geranium family. This picture is from before I bought it, its travel was rough on its little leaves, and it lost a lot of them. But its got some new ones coming, so I think its okay.

Alaink - right now its more looking like a companion plant, bit with a little work to develop some branch structure, I hope to have it be a mame. I have seen several erodium mames, and they work very well with the tiny bonsai sizes.

Marka - my trick is that I use a seed-starting greenhouse to give my mames a highly humid environment. I only need to water then every other day, believe it or not.

Phil - no worries on the mame forum. There aren't that many folks around who deal in the micro-tiny guys. They technically can fall under a 'shohin' category - as long as you're talking less than a foot tall.

Thanks all for the other comments, I've been away dealing with family visiting and haven't been on my computer much.
