All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.

That's a lovely plant! I don't think I have any more room for plants right now, but I'll have to suggest it in the spring when we buy plants for our porch.

I have one of those too, & I just love it! (Anything that's purple, works for me!)

Tppc, I noticed from the photo that yours have that 2-tone look... I'm not sure that's a good thing. [dunno] Mine did that for a while, after I'd moved it to a room that didn't have a lot of light, so I put it back in a bright spot & the color evened out.

I've had mine since January, & I'm not sure how often they're supposed to blossom, but mine hasn't done it again yet. It's starting to drop some leaves, & after reading Bill's page, (Growing and Caring for Shamrock Plants) I think it might be time to put it to bed for the winter.  -

I'll go with Weez . . . the first word that came to mind was 'shamrock'.

A lovely plant, I must say.

(I have enough plants . . . just echoing the 'man of the house' here. Heh! heh!

Tppc ~ I have one exactly like yours and about the same size. I got mine at a Fred Meyer (a store on the west coast similar to Target) for St. Patrick's Day. Mine has bloomed twice since March and it has pale pink flowers.

Beautiful plant!
