Live Forever

 A first century Roman naturalist named Pliny wrote that you could use the juice from this flower to treat wounds. The name Live Forever comes from the fact  that it can establish new growth from nearly any part of the plant. If you chop up  the plant,  it can start new grow from any of these fragments. You can even separate the front of the leaves from the back of the leaves to create a little purse. This is where the common names Balloon Purses and Witches Moneybags comes from.
