Tradescantia

another beauty Meanie, I don't know how you do it.

Well, for this one I had to cut the flower and stem off, strip the leaves back and then photograph it in the conservatory!

Thanks for going to the trouble .. I love this photo !

I'm quite pleased with it too Shirley!

Wow a white one how lovely..I have plenty of the mauve that are spreading more each year but not seen the white before.......

It does seem to be a little rare Milky!

Meanie:

Great shot! Which species is this? Hopefully, not Tradescantia pallida! Tradescantia pallida - Green Wandering Jew drives me insane!!! It pops up everywhere...it's almost like it comes out of thin air.

This is Tradescantia virginiana Delonix - the blue form can spread like hell, the white one doesn't seem as bad.

Meanie:

I looked it up...it's a beautiful plant!

The one that drives me insane isn't Tradescantia pallida, it's Tradescantia flumenensis, a green-leaf vining Wandering Jew which is a horrible weed here and in Florida. It also has little white flowers.

That's sold as a house plant here Delonix, so we don't find it too invasive!!

Meanie:

You're very, very, very lucky! :>)

I can't get rid of it!!! :>(

Superb photo!

Thank you Anchorman!
