Venus' Looking Glass (Triodanis perfoliata)
Venus Looking Glass is an annual herb with small star shaped violet to purple flowers . There are several here and there in the yard that snuck in among the other flowers. One came up in a hanging flower basket that's just sitting around outside. I decided to pull the other weeds out of it and let that one grow. I think the purple flowers are a beauty at any size and one of my favorite colors. :) The leaves are said to be edible but not much information available as to it being medicinal . I did find a few references to it being used by Native Americans in the past though. Today I will just admire the beauty I've found in another of God's creation.
