Katerbug, Welcome! You have landed in the right place.

How about an Oxalis Triangularis? (Shamrock Plant). I have a lovely purple one. It gets charming little pink flowers on it, and at night it puts itself to bed (the leaves close up). I have passed it along to a number of neighbors, and they tell me it is a favorite.

I do bring it inside in the winter, and it goes on the deck in the summer. This summer I planted a clump in the garden, intending to see if it would make it outdoors through the winter. But the deer have pruned it to about an inch high, so I am not sure if it will come back.

Anyway, if you'd like a start - sent me a D-Mail. And welcome again!
