Yes, Juli, I remember Dwight.
For years I was ripping out Celandine. Pretty leaves though. Orange sap which gets all over the hands and stains. They had been coming up next to the cottage (where the pic was taken). Now I have tons of them coming up near the compost pile! I had already decided to keep a few, as long as they don't come up in the daylily beds!
Tradescantia is another that self seeds around here. For you too? I have a bunch at one of the estates that we keep taking out. Not well behaved after they bloom. They flop all over other plants. Pretty when in bloom though and we keep some here and there. Is Kevin's a darker purple?
Love the name.
The name Tradescantia honors John Tradescant the Elder, gardener to the Earl of Salisbury, who traveled to Virginia in 1617.
