This lovely little plant started popping up in my yard (not a positive for the perfect lawn people, but that's not me).

It was constantly getting chopped with the lawn mowing, so I decided to move one to see how it would do potted. Oh, how it HATED being moved. Even though I babied it, every leaf shriveled up and dropped off.

I thought I'd killed it for sure, but patience won out -- it came back in full force and is a little charmer as a potted plant. And much prettier when it's not subject to lawn mower blades.

Additionally, leaf color appears MUCH healthier when it is NOT in full sun.
