And it has these pretty little light purple flowers with kind of wavy stems:
Here's a (crappy) photo of the whole thing in its pretty midnight blue ceramic pot. I need Pat (or Lauren or anyone else please!) to identify it for me because DH forgot to save the info thingie. I could Google or call the florist shop, but I like it when Pat identifies plants.
The other part of DH's gift is taking care of it for me so I don't kill it. Yay!

I think that plant is really cool! I think you will be happier with that than the orchid - those things are hard to keep alive and if you do keep them alive it's tough to get them to bloom again!
Wow, I've never seen such a plant! Great taste on your husbands part and pretty pics on yours!
Becky, I'm pretty sure this is a variety of Oxalis, or wood sorrel. Some people call it false shamrock. It also comes with green leaves that look more like shamrocks. Love these dark purple leaves!
Yes, I think it is a purple leaf shamrock. Hope it will last through St. Patty's Day! I sometimes get the green variety but I like the dark leaves and the little purple flowers on this one.
Great flower shots Becky!
That is so pretty! I think it is so sweet when they give the non-traditional! And what better present than to have him keep it alive for you :) Now that is great!
Dang, Pat beat me to it, I actually (kind of) knew this one, but I thought it was a type of clover, not "fake" clover ;) Love that soft pink against the maroon. Fingers crossed that it's easy to keep alive!
Well it sure is a pretty plant! I love those dark leaves. Your hubby did good picking it out.
Wow! As impressed as I am with this plant, I'm also totally blown away by Pat encyclopedic plant knowledge! Your husband did good with this one!
I love the dark purple. It's so pretty!
Pat is amazing! This is such a pretty plant, I can't wait to get some flowers in my garden, my pots are all prepared and my beds are popping up with daffodils, but still no color.
sorry i am no help here but i did want to tell you that i think is a very pretty plant
Wow...that is gorgeous. I love the little flowers. I wonder if it blooms all year. I just love the purple clover leaves too...that just rocks.
Beautiful plant - hubby is no nice to buy it... and take care of it!! ;)
WOW! Very pretty:) What a great gift:)
What pretty leaves and such delicate flowers, I thought the leaf was a butterfly at first glance. :)
And you know, I know what you saw on that tree...my dad and I saw the same thing!
That's a beautiful plant! I like that he agreed to take care of it for you so you don't kill it. ;)
And that's great that Pat knew what it was...I knew she would, though!
