I've been wondering for awhile if this is some sort of Tradescantia? I sometimes find it trailing through flower beds and I always yank it, thinking it's a weed. Next time I see some I might pot it up to see if I can get it to bloom and try to get an exact ID. I remember years ago a popular hanging basket houseplant that looked like this. Aha ... the name just came to me "Tahitian Bridal Veil" which used to be sold as Tradescantia multiflora but I see it's now classified as Tahitian Bridal Veil (Gibasis geniculata)
I took this photo back in August 2012 at our old house but I found something recently in a flower bed I was weeding that looked identical to this. It may be something other than Tradescantia but it sure resembles the Tahitian Bridal Veil plant of old What do y'all think, anyone recognize it by this picture?
