What is this??

Willow Springs, MO(Zone 6b)

My boss brought me these tiny little pieces of a plant, she didn't know what it is and I don't either, the stems are rather woody and it rooted from the base of the leaves in water. as you can see, it had bloomed before she snipped it off, but I don't have a clue what the flowers were like. Does anyone know anything about this plant?

Plectranthus verticillatus - Many call this plant a Creeping Charlie or Swedish Ivy by it common name. It is fun plant, easy to grow from cuttings. It roots so easily, you can just pinch a stem and plant it in the soil in the same pot - or root it in water. Here is the care information from the Plant Files
