I was not sure where to post this but thought you all would not mind looking at this little tiny flower. It is the little pink flower of the Setcreasea pallida or Purple Heart. I started this hanging basket with one tiny little shoot and it has been growing like crazy. The little flowers do not last more than a day so when I see one I just have to take photos of it. Here is a photo of two flowers. They are about the size of a dime.

Here is just a single flower by itself.

Here is part of the branch that the flowers are on.

How pretty! Very nice. : )
And here is the whole plant. It is kind of spindly right now but it should start filling in soon I hope.

Oh, Jesse. That is just beautiful.
pretty
I love the foliage, and that plant looks like it could turn into quite a big, rambling, fabulous specimen!
I need to get one of these I love colorful foliage. Jesse you have so mant pretty plants :))
Jesse, Purple Heart is a favorite of mine and a vintage plant. For me it's a tender periennial in the flower bed. It always makes a display in the Summer with the purple leaves and blooms, it dies back in the Winter but pops back up faithfully each Spring. Your hanging basket is a good idea, I think I'll pot some up this time.
