front porch - swedish ivy (plectranthus australis)

Swedish ivy decided to bloom on the front porch. When looking up the name, many of the writers described "insignificant flowers." Is there really such a thing?

Often had this as a potted plant over the years - have always loved those lovely little 'insignificant' flowers!!

Oh, me too! My favorite thing about it is that it is ever so forgiving... if neglected, it perks right back up with just a little TLC.

You're so right Hmhb - it's very hardy and so easy to strike as well. Love plants like that!

I agree with you Hmhb, there is no such thing as an "insignificant flower".
