Additional Information: Present from friend Paula Beattie, a root from her garden plant.

 

My  friend Paula Beattie and I have been exchanging plants. 

  A cutting/ root of her garden plant.


At this writing (6/2009) the plant is only a couple of stems with a couple of leaves each, the location may be too small for it but it receives plenty of sun and I will keep and eye on the water which is always limited due to the proximity of  a Large weeping willow tree.
