Today I planted bulbs, cleaned up the dead plants, and brought the two big pots of purple oxalis into the house.  During the day the leaves open out with the light, and at night the leaves fold back and look like purple butterflies on stalks.  The plants will die back over the winter, looking completely dead.  Then a few tiny purple "shamrocks" will appear, and by spring they will be in full leaf and flower again....  Mary
