Lace Flower
This is a hanging basket plant with long vines that drape down over the sides. It's flowers have frilled edges and the petals have deep purple tiny spots. It's leaves are about 2" long, soft and fuzzy like those found on violets. This plant is a hybrid and I can't seem to find any details on it's development. I've had this plant for 3 years now and bought it for my son's science project on how night blooming flowers attract moths. Although it's not night blooming, it's white petals and dark spots serve as landing strips for the moths to easily navigate. Also, it's pretty hardy if it's still alive in my yard :)
