This purple Wandering Jew (
Tradescantia Zebrina) plant belonged to my
mom . . . it (and many of her plants) hadn't been watered in months. It's now here in my home and after a few months of special care, it's finally coming back . . . it's as healthy as I remember it when mom had it hanging in her patio. Mom and I both have always had Wandering Jews in our homes, they are such a neat plant and hardy ones too! I know she would be happy that her plants are doing very well.
Oma had the same plant, Gini :-)
ReplyDeleteCousin, Marion ~ it just runs in the family . . . a family plant! I have one of mom's Grape Ivy plants from about 15-18 years ago. It was so beautiful and I always wanted it . . . one day, she gave it to me and I have had it and kept it alive ever since! I did start another plant from a clipping . . . I will have to post about that one! Love you, Cuz . . . Bussi's ~ Ginimaus
ReplyDeleteGini, It's a beautiful plant with a wonderful connection to your Mom. I'm sure you take comfort from it.
ReplyDeleteI have not had one of these in years, this one is lovely and the photo is wonderful too Gini!
ReplyDeleteSame here, Carol, I had several of these plants in the seventies! Mom had a green thumb, and many of her plants are many years old . . . now if I can just keep them going!
