I have a tiny farmhouse in rural PA w/ lots of fields & forest... I enjoy being surrounded by as many plants as possible, both outdoors & in my home!

Threw a few accidentally-broken pieces into a glass of water and they literally grew roots in a day! #bloodleaf #cuttings

Beautiful!!!! My husband wants to know where to find these. We live in the south n I've never seen these before. Are they grown better in a planter or in a hanging basket?💗

@benheather I actually found it at a farmers market earlier this year... they were calling it the "chicken gizzard plant!" 😊 For now I have it in a regular planter since it's a mostly bushy shape.

I've never seen it til this summer at a farmers market, where they were calling it the "chicken gizzard" plant... It's such a bright, amazing color that I couldn't pass it up! @hazec

@vajlue Interesting! Does it have some kind of special purpose or nutritional value?

@aes239 combination wih other (let me know you interesting in other herbs) the soup support help your body recover faster with nutrition from chicken and the herbs help to put all the bad blood in the body out and clean the body after birth
