    I was looking at the plants at meijer and saw a little pincushion plant and was going to get it but thought I should research it first. Does any one know anything about this plant it had little berries which I think were orange (I'm color blind).
    Thank you

    I believe the plant you saw was Nertera granadensis. You could research further using that name.

    Ya thats what it was I was just looking at a site about them. Thanks for the reply. Do you know if I would be able to take the berries and plant them. I'm going to look them up more.

    I would expect so since a means of propagation is by seed. Have a look at this page.
