Day and Night with Oxalis

 Last night, Casey came home with a little present... an Oxalis.
The store was apparently already prepping
for St. Patties day because the clover-like look 
of the leaves gives it its other name "false shamrock"
Anyway, the most interesting thing about this plant
is that it "wakes up" in the morning, opening its flowers
towards the sun before closing them again at night.
And now, I am off to bed just like my Oxalis.
