My Little Spiderwort

I have the prettiest little plant growing at my house.
I bought it a few years ago for Todd for some reason...
Father's day, 4th of July, who knows.
It has grown and grown and looks so colorful.
I love this plant because it takes very little care,
and the plant looks like you have fussed over it.
What is it you ask?

When I researched the plant, I found that it 
has medical attributes - 
win, win!
It is used for "female" problems, a laxative, and when the leaves
are crushed, they can be used for insect bites and stings.
Who knew we had natures pharmacy right in our back yard.



Ohhhhh......pretty.
