Tradescantia HubNov 18, 2022

Welcome new mastodon people! I've never actually done an #introduction so here I go.

I'm the International Cultivar Registration Authority for the #Tradescantia genus, which means I research the correct names of all tradescantia cultivars in the world.

I have a living collection of tradescantias and other Commelinaceae plants which I study, and sell cuttings to fund my research.

Ask me to identify your tradescantia plant!

@TradescantiaHub @plants @houseplants my wife works for a landscaping company that grows 3 different andersoniana cultivars - Sweet Kate, Concord Grape, and Amethyst Kiss. Would you be interested in one of each for your collection?

That's very kind of you to offer! At the moment I'm only collecting living samples for the tropical cultivars. David Simpson is the UK National Collection Holder for the Andersoniana Group and its ancestor species, you can check out his website here: https://thespiderwortcollection.wordpress.com/ :)
