This is t.Ira's trandescantsia. I re-potted it in one of my favorite plain terracotta pots (it has embossed strawberries all around) and put it on top of the baker's rack right below a skylight in the sun room. It gets watered in the same sporadic way as the rest of the poor green darlings. A week or so ago I realized, this was the first time that I have seen a trandescantsia bloom - such a soft white cluster of loveliness. Nothing else to humble a plant lover like the most basic of neglectable green messes of stems and leaves turning into this swan of a flower.
