Gardening: Pocketbook Plant

This little beauty will add a big splash of color to any garden inside or outside. It is called a "Pocketbook" plant. It is a member of the Ladyslipper family and comes in various colors.

Keep all the "spent" blooms picked off and discard carefully washing hands after, as this plant could be dangerous if ingested by humans or animals.
