What is This Flower? (Asiatic Dayflower)
Be very careful if you have pets. Wandering Jew gives them all sorts of skin problems including itching etc., it is rather a sweet plant though. :o)
Hanging Out In The Garden
What a gorgeous picture, but, please be careful, a lot of plants are poisonous and little people love to put things in their mouth! Maybe you have a budding horticulturalist in the family? Cheers from OZ :o)
