Hildadorrisen gave me this plant as a little cutting, look at it now, wonderful. Its leaves close at night and turn to the window! Facinating.

Pp. if you look closely at the plant you can see its pretty pink flowers there. I suppose its related to the garden plant! W.Lass, its facinating to watch, when I come up to bed at night it too is asleep!!

Love this one. I put it in my clients garden and it's just coming up again.
They come in green also, but I love this purple one.

Anjie, Dont think this would survive outside would it? I have seen the green one outside but not this one.

Very attractive plant, with its deep wine coloured leaves, does it flower too?, I have a small rockery Oxalis which is full of lovely pink flowers at the moment;0)
