    Lady's Mantle is one of my favorite plants. Even before it blossoms it looks great. I especially like to see the rain drops that collect in the leaves.

    The four new Lady's Mantle I planted a couple of weeks ago look very pretty with the droplets of water after a rain too. I have never found it around here before, I am excited to see how well it does.

    Toni it has always grown very well here in Michigan for me. I started with a tiny plant from the garden at the office and now have it all over. I love the color of the blossoms.

    I don't believe I have ever seen lady's mantle. I will have to check and see if it does in our heat and humidity. I love the leaves.

    The pic is wonderful. I have never heard of lady's mantle. Between this and toni's piggyback I'm afraid the nursery lady is going to go crazy :eek: . O'well admitting you have a problem is the first step. Right? :rolleyes:

    Another plant I recently purchased at a charity plant sale. I have always wanted it but never gotten around to getting one. It does look amazing early in the morning with the dew sitting in the leaves like little diamonds.
