    All cleaned up and ready for the next hurricane. :sete_082: I am enjoying the seed exchange and so far only been stiffed by one person.
    Can't wait till spring to start planting. My greenhouse has been shipped and I hope to see it up in a couple of weeks. I was given some plants this week. Can anyone identify this plant.

    I have that plant. Without going through a search for the proper name, I will just say I call mine Purple Heart.

    It's Tradescantia spathacea, syn. Rhoeo spathacea. I added a note to your photo on the Photos page. We commonly call it Moses-In-A-Cradle or the Boat Lily.

    So glad you managed to get everything cleaned up Donna. I hope you didn't tire yourself out too much though.
    You must take pics of your greenhouse once it's erected and tell us what plants are going to take up residence in it.

    Great photograph by the way. :stew1:
