I have fallen in love with and cultivated this plant, with its purplish-maroon, clover-like leaves amd small, delicate, 5-petal flowers, over the years. It is tough, persistent and resilient. It can be grown outdoors or indoors. I much prefer to have it indoors and enjoy its flowers, the unusual shape and the beautiful color of the leaves with remarkable markings during the long winter months.
I purchased the last one in early October and have enjoyed its blooming and now it's reblooming.

This is a beautiful flower and would brighten any home on a dreary winter day. Maybe it is called the love plant because it sparks such good feelings within and perhaps it can have elements of the beauty that is expressed in the following thought: There is no higher or lower in love; no greater or lesser.
There is simply the radiance and respect
for the existence of every atom in the universe.
The rose does not yell at the oak tree saying, “I’m prettier than you,” nor does the oak respond, “I’m greater than you.”
No, each must have its own individuality.
Each must be respected for what it is. Dr. Robert T. Jaffe.
There is something beautiful and radiant in this remarkable plant. It seems to fill a room with love.
