OP Mocha260 Member Joined: May 2006 Fort Wayne	Can anyone identify this plant? This plant was growing in my yard. I loved it so much I brought it in to grow inside. I'm not exactly sure how to care for it so I was hoping to find the name and propagate to I can have more for next year. Thanks in advance for your help. http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k110/mocha260/purpleplant.jpg
