The Cape of Good Hope is one of the richest  floral regions in the world. Hundreds of original species  grow there, among them beautiful lobelia with heavenly blue little flowers. If their size hardly impresses anyone,  their number definitely do. When in full bloom, it takes a while to find green leaves hidden under a thick blanket of delicate moth-like flowers whose striking blue shades and tones are just unbelievable, to say the least. Who wants more excitement can easily get it through growing this lovely jewel plant in their garden. Satisfaction guaranteed!

Despite the menacing element of their anatomy (observed almost only in the wild individuals), horned pansies are truly benevolent creatures and do not pose any threat to anybody.  With one exception though: you can fall head over heels in love  with their most colourful  and cheerful flowers. Do not forget about the warning before going to the nearest shopping centre, where the little jewels are currently on sale, or... do it and enjoy the freshness of spring infatuation horned pansies are able to stir even in the most confirmed cool-headed people. Fortunately, such folks do not visit garden centres. So, you are in for a lovely trouble!

You really are lucky if you find one.  However, if you do not feel like  hunting for luck in the field and  would like to have  at home a potful of lucky leaves - without any substantial effort - all you need to do is buy a bag of small bulbs labelled: Oxalis deppei or Iron Cross (its  common name) and simply plant them in a pot. Within two or three weeks the first lucky leaves will appear and start  working wonders. Some of them are even observable as the leaves move. Botanists have coined a somewhat little flattering term for that activity and call it nasty. Well, it is the photonasty.
