Hi Finedon,
Welcome to the vine.

Nick, could you give us a bit of clue,... like grouping it in certain category or uses such as : herbs or fruit or flowers ?
I am out if it is flowers, I haven't got any experience with flowers...
But really like to know what it is

Momol

Hi Momol

Thanks for the welcome. I have several Tradescantia as I am interested in gardening history and therefore the Tradescant family - so honored them by planting one last year. Cannot go out and compare as 1. its dark and 2. its raining - (1+2 = one wimp!!LOL)

Have a nice evening.

Tammy

Thanks Tammy,

Like I said, I am pretty clueless when comes to flowers, not that I don't like them, I do know couple which I used for flower arrangement but they are pretty common ... and very easy to recognize.
Let's wait and see whats Nick has to say about it...
Got to go, getting sleepy it's almost 11pm at my time.

Good evening and good nite for later,
Momol

No it's not tradescantia - but I can see why you'd think that.

OK, a clue ........ It's a small shrubby family that is loved by bees ....
