Purple Petals

About a month or two ago I thinned out my purple shamrock plant (oxalis triangularis) and stuck a few of the cut stems in a vase of water instead of throwing them away.  To my surprise they didn't wilt and die within a few days, but thrived and grew roots.  To my pleasant surprise, I noticed yesterday that the roots had grown a couple stems of their own.  If you have never seen this plant, the petals close up at night and open like this in the mornings, and it also has purple flowers from time to time.  It always comes back and is my favorite house plant.
