Did you know there are at least two types of Everblooming Shamrock plants? I found that out yesterday when my friend told me she was bringing me a late birthday present (my birthday is January 8th, same as Elvis Presley's). She misplaced my birthday card and never found it. Instead, she said she was giving me a plant - a plant like a gorgeous one that she has and that I love. It's an Everblooming Shamrock. She found some more that have a different color leaf and flower. Her plant has white flowers and green under the leaf. If you're not familiar with the Shamrock plant, the leaf closes in the evening and opens up during the day. When it closes, you see the bottom of the leaf. This other Shamrock that my friend found has purple underneath the leaves, and the flowers are light lavender. This morning I got my gorgeous Everblooming Shamrock plant - the one with the purple leaf and lavender flower. Isn't she pretty?

| Here she is with the pink thermos gift Mr. Fun gave me once and with my little green case. All three items are lovelies on my desk. Yes, and they all have green for St. Patty's Day. |

| A very close close up. Get a real good look at those dainty leaves. Don't they look like butterflies? |

| Shamrock in Afternoon - see how the leaves have perked up? |

| And I just love this frilly thermos. It keeps my coffee hot, just the way I like it!! | | |
