The way the light was coming through my window and making my plants' leaves glow was really pretty. This purple one is fascinating in the way the leaves kind of change color based on the direction you look at it. It's called a Rhoeo, oyster plant, Moses in a boat, mostly for the shape of the flowers. This has never flowered and I'm having a hard time finding pictures of it on the internet to show you what the flowers look like.

A few years ago when I was at the school greenhouse, I found a small piece of a stem in the garbage can. I took the segment home, not knowing what it was and it grew into this! This is a leaf from my rubber tree,another one of my first rescues. I found it in a dumpster in my old apartment in Salt Lake with no pot, no soil around the roots, and no leaves on it whatsoever. But I potted up the bare sticks and they grew into a lovely little tree! This one has traveled with me in my moves between Washington and Utah several times. That bright green color is great, eh?

This wandering jew was started from a piece I found on the floor at Lowe's. If you look closely you can see the crystaline texture through out the leaves.

Called the "Heart Leaf" Philodendron(for obvious resons), this photo was inspired by my totally awesome friend Laura. I "heart" it!
