Rue

     Just adopted a Rue plant, also know as Ruta. I am not too familiar with this plant but it is a plant that goes back to biblical times and has many stories within itself.  It is said to have remedies and medicinal purposes but that might be archaic with modern medicine.
     Never the less, the persuasion from a stubborn old gardener for me to grow this plant has given me the drive to give it a chance. It has a nice aroma when rubbed in between your hands.

     It is also known to drive away unwanted bugs and critters. I took stem cuttings and they are now soaking in water to see if they can develop roots. 

I will get more information on this plant as I find it.
