A red-leaved Oxalis houseplant.

I've had this guy for probably 20-years. About once every 5-years or
so I repot him, and it just keeps going and going. Whenever I think to
feed him, he bursts out in bloom.

This picture was taken with the assistance of a 12mm extension-tube. I
like extension tubes as a handy and relatively inexpensive way to do
macro work. Just remember to use a small aperture, because your DoF
gets very narrow.
