| Exotic Angel is distributing a couple of different plants under this name. This one looks like T. pallida but with somewhat hairy leaves and stems; the flowers are much smaller as well. Any help will be appreciated. Yale |

| Posting this photo of T. 'Red Hill' leaves; with short hair, purple undersurface, and about 2.5 inches long. (A plant close to T. zebrina is also distributed by Exotic Angel as T. 'Red Hill'). Yale |

| Yale, Can't answer your specific question, but I too, have found Exotic Angel Plants questionable in their assignment of botanical names. Case in point is Rhipsalis...over the years I've bought four or five plants all with different names that turned out to be the same species! Not sure what this says about me ;-) |

| I have never put much stock into Exotic Angel's naming of plants. I haven't hard of this Tradescantia before, Yale, but love the bloom color! |

| This plant had the same label. It looks like a cross between T. zebrina and T. pallida, if that's possible...? |

| Noticed 2 flowers were open a few minutes ago. Definitely looks like the same mystery plant. |

| Here is the reverse side of the leaves. Can't wait to see what the leaves do in different exposures this summer. Have not had this one long. |

| Looks like it's going to bloom on most of these branches. Do you think it's the same plant as yours, Yale? |
