Now to me, it looks like those
Purple Wandering Jew plants,
like just broken off of the mother plant
and just stuck into the soil???? [dunno] [dunno] [dunno] [dunno] [dunno] [dunno]

Don't forget to be kind to strangers. For some who have
done this have entertained angels without realizing it.

yes, it's part of the wandering jew varieties...

tradescantia spathacea is the 'moses in a boat' one.

this one is another variety...and google is not providing the info at the moment. well, it's not really googles fault - the one site's registration has expired...and, of course, that's the one that has most of the varieties listed!

i have this one - got it in a trade with angelblossom. some of the pieces have grown exactly like this one...others stayed more purple and don't have that 'bolted' look. i don't know why they've grown differently as they all have the same light source.
