"I also have many Ipheions growing here in S. Calif. The foliage is different than the original "unknown" picture submitted. In that photo you can see the cupped tips and even a rolled or curled leaf or two. All my Ipheion have flat leaves…"

"The foliage isn't right for Ipheion. Ipheion leaves are rather flat and cover the ground. Chiondoxa foliage is more cupped at the tip and is upright when young."

"Looks like Chinodoxa"

"If it is Purple Heart (Tradescantia pallida), and it probably is, it would prefer sun. I grow it in full sun to half-day sun here in southern California. Acclimate it slowly as weather permits. It should get new growth from the base and look…"

"Looks like a Tradescantia of some kind. It looks stretched out and needs more light."

"Not snow bound at all. Quite beautiful here, gardening and cleaning up stuff. Lots in bloom too. Quite an unusual and mild winter. Have only scooted my citrus trees into the garage once this year...29 degrees and wouldn't even normally do that…"

"The garden is sleeping. So not much to ask about. Though I will pop over to houseplants (very active since the gardens are sleeping) and let them know they can post here for identification since most house plants come with a generic tag that says…"

" Fallopia  japonica 'Variegata' aka knotweed. The plain green version can be quite invasive. "

"Its been a while since anyone posted anything. Are you all snowbound? Thought this might get someone out and about - even if its twigs and bark........ post a pic of something you came across recently or a long time ago. Is always fun to analyze…"

"Looks like a Silene of some kind.  "

"Could be a Monardia sp. or relative. Check out this pics of Monardia citridora for examples."

"If it has yellow flowers......... I'd guess Cassia or Senna of  some kind.  "

"It could be Hydrangea............ if it is cut down each year, it may not bloom."

"Virginia creeper, five-leaved ivy, or five-finger (Parthenocissus quinquefolia)"
