I spent the day experimenting with a new camera and looking for any-ol

and went down to the basement to get away from me, but the houseplants
are not as agile.

We have had this purple oxalis as a houseplant for at least 20-years.
Whenever it begins to look tired I give it a shot of fertilizer and he
perks up and starts blooming again. About every 5 or 6-years I repot
it and then the bulbils I drop outside start to sprout, but I think we
are too cold for this guy to survive the winters, and they never
establish.

Wonderful shot. Reminds me of butterfly wings.
