Mostly used as a charm for all the good things in life to come ones way. The stems of this plant are sticky and bloom in the evenings/nights and is pollinated by moths. The flower portion can look wizened during the day.

I used to have that plant growing wild at a house we had back in Wisconsin. Funny I thought it was called bladder wort! I guess I had that wrong somehow.
I just realized that I have links to BOTH of your blogs on my blog--had no idea that they were done by the same person. Isn't that just the way it is? You like something and somehow you see some of it in something else--a certain style I guess and like that too. Mary t
