Purple Heart

Purple heart (Tradescantia pallida) grows in masses here in the Caribbean. I love to take cuttings of it at home because it roots easily in water. Using it for a massed planting in my flowerbeds always brings comments. "What are those purple leaves?"

Those purple leaves are related to spiderwort.

In this election year, as we become acutely aware of so-called "red" and "blue," we might unstick our minds from that concept and realize that everyone of us had red blood in our arteries and blue blood in our veins. In one sense, our hearts are "purple."

Loving what is, even when it is difficult.

  1. I didn't think that we could bring live plants into the country. How does this work?

  3. Having gone through customs. Also the Border Security program shows live plants being confiscated. My understanding is that you have to have an import license and follow specific guidelines to bring in live plants.
