Good day to all
I was made aware that Tradescantias are classified as invasive. I was genuinely not aware of this and I would like to take a minute to apologise for offending anyone with my previous post showcasing my Tradescantia collection.
I would also like to clarify the following:
1) The plants were sourced from retailers selling them openly and NOT from private sellers.
2) The plants were not up for sale - my intention was not to sell or give these plants away.
3) The plants are kept contained inside my home and are not allowed to grow out of control in my garden.

I have removed the post and would like to apologise again for not having the correct information where their status is concerned.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support me by viewing my posts.

I hope you have a wonderful day 🌼

A close-up of the leaf of my Begonia masoniana, also known as 'Iron Cross Begonia'. Nature is beautiful.

This is the leaf of a Titanopsis calcarea. Seeing the details of this plant's leaf structure has deepened my appreciation and love for botany. Very humbling.

On a different note, my 'Carolina Reaper' is bearing fruits. Boasting a score of over 2,200,000 Scoville Heat Units, this pepper could take you straight to the ER. 🔥🌶️

Expanding my collection with Capsicum. "Capsicum is a genus of flowering plants in the nightshade family Solanaceae, native to the Americas, cultivated worldwide for their edible fruit, which are generally known as "peppers" or "capsicum". Chili peppers grow on five species of Capsicum."

Recently I added the 'Hungarian Black Pepper' and the 'Habanero' to my collection.
