Tiffany, yes those plants were at our old house where we lived for 37 years. I first got the plant @ 1997 or 1998 and it didn't have a label but at some point down the road I was told it was Callisia repens. In all the years it grew in my yard and in a hanging basket, I never saw blooms. I had it as a ground cover in locations of full sun as well as full shade. The plants growing in full shade had a more compact, tight growth habit while the ones growing in full sun had a habit where the leaves were more sparse and set apart along the stems if that makes sense. The plants I had growing in full sun looked more like the one on this page (shown growing on rocks): http://www.cabi.org/isc/datash...

I lost a bunch of my photos a few years back when my laptop crashed but these are old pic's that were on the desktop computer ... all the same plant, just growing in different light:

My eyes are such that I can't tell the difference between C. cordifolia and C. repens so if you are certain that my photos are in the wrong location in the database, please feel free to move them with my appreciation!
