The plant I'm going to share from this Microworld is a wild plant commonly known as Chinese Violet because of the color of its flowers. Its scientific name is Asystasia gangetica, although it can also be found in cream-colored varieties, which I haven't seen. Generally, the one shown in the photo is the one I've always seen. Well, I have this little wild plant in front of my house. It started growing there and stayed. We like it because it doesn't require much care; it always stays green and blooms. It grows quite a lot. I remember when it first appeared there a few years ago, I always told my husband that it needed shaping or maintenance, until a team of workers from the Mayor's office came and did the job. They asked, "Should we weed it?" The answer, of course, was a resounding NO. They tidied it up beautifully. It's grown back now, but it's stayed within the boundaries of the garden plot.
