More Tradescantia gigantea, a bit rain battered. This population has a pretty wide variety of colors; the medium purples are the most common.

Asiatic Dayflower (Commelina communis)

Family: Spiderwort Family (Commelinaceae)

IUCN Conservation Status: Unassessed

Found naturally in damp, open environments across much of eastern and southeastern Asia, the Asiatic Dayflower is named for its extremely short-lived flowers, which wither within only around 24 hours of blooming. Lacking the ability to produce nectar, the flowers of this species instead attract pollinators such as bees and hoverflies using three different floral structures; bright blue petals (which are produced in pairs, and protrude upwards,) pale yellow structures called staminodes (which resemble tiny yellow flowers but are actually underdeveloped pollen-lacking stamens that serve only to draw in pollinators) and three pale dangling true stamens, which are the only part of the flower that actually bares pollen. Asiatic Dayflower flowers are able to both produce pollen and take in the pollen of other members of their species to fertilize the ova within them, and upon being fertilized a flower will develop small, pale, oval-shaped fruits that develop separately to the plant's stamens, allowing them to continue to spread their own pollen; the entire plant dies in the autumn/fall of the year it germinated in, and as it does so it leaves its fruits behind to be carried away by animals, allowing the four small seeds within to germinate in the following summer. Within its native range (particularly the island of Honshu, Japan) the petals of this species have historically been collected and used to produce blue dye (which is achieved by wringing a "juice" from the petals containing the blue pigment Commelinin,) and today members of this species are often cultivated for this purpose. The cultivation of this species, both for ornamental purposes and to be harvested for its dye, has also allowed it to become established as an invasive species in parts of North America.

Tradescantia virginiana, Virginia spiderwort

Tradescantia is a genius of 85 species of herbaceous perennial wildflowers.

Family: Commelinaceae

Common names of this species include Wandering Jew, inchplant, spiderwort, and dayflower.

Virginia Spiderwort has a plethora of medicinal uses. In folk traditions, it was made into tea to treat stomach upset and constipation. This tea can also be beneficial for kidney issues and “ailments or rupture” related to the uterus. A poultice of the root is used for cancer. The Cherokee cooked young growth and leaves parboiled, fried, or mixed with other greens.

The secretion from the mashed leaves can be used to treat bug bites and scratches.

🌿

"The entire plant is edible. The flowers and leaves can be eaten raw and added to salads. The leaves can also be added to soups, omelets and stir-fry. The stems can be braised or roasted like asparagus. Spiderwort does not get bitter in the heat of the Florida Summer like many other greens."

Dicorisandra - Dichorisandra thyrsiflora

Nome Popular: Dicorisandra, marianhinha, cana-de-macaco, gengibre-azul, trapoeraba-azul Nome Científico: Dichorisandra thyrsiflora Família: Commelinaceae Divisão: Angiospermae Origem: Brasil Ciclo de Vida: Perene https://youtu.be/FGf_ZCMn4uQ

Descrição da Dicorisandra

Dicorisandra, marianinha, trapoeraba-azul, gengibre-azul... o que não faltam são nomes para a cana-de-macaco, uma planta com flores exóticas que aparecem o ano inteiro. Normalmente é cultivada compondo maciços, enfeitando cercas, dando cor e emprestando a sua beleza verde envernizada a jardins sem muito brilho. Arbusto tipicamente tropical, a dicorisandra apresenta folhas largas, brilhantes e coreáceas, com a nervura central verde-amarelada, com a face inferior arroxeada. É ramificada na base, apresentado ramos erectos. As flores despontam o ano todo, em inflorescências terminais, e são de coloração azul-arroxeada.

Dicorisandra é uma planta muito rústica e florífera, adequando-se a maciços e conjuntos, em ronques junto a muros, assim como planta isolada. Para que a planta cresça e atinja todo seu potencial, evite cultivá-la em cidades onde o inverno atinge temperaturas abaixo de 16ºC. Da primavera até o outono, regue uma vez a cada dois dias, mas diminua a oferta de água durante os meses de frio, esperando que o solo fique completamente seco antes de regar novamente. Caso a planta esteja em vaso, passe-a para um vaso maior anualmente, de preferência nas primeiras semanas de Setembro. Devem ser cultivadas a pleno sol ou meia-sombra, em solos adubados com matéria orgânica e regados regularmente. Não tolera geadas fortes. Multiplica-se pela divisão da planta, por estaca e por sementes. Esta flor tem um inimigo: a podridão-vermelha (Colletotrichum dichorisandra) – um fungo que ataca principalmente a cana-de-açúcar, mas que também adora as folhas da cana-de-macaco, daí herdar o seu "sobrenome" dessa planta.  A sua presença é facilmente revelada por folhas cheias de manchas negras ou pardas em baixo relevo. Caso a sua cana-de-macaco sofra desse mal, remova as folhas atacadas e trate sua planta com calda bordalesa, um excelente fungicida natural que pode ser preparado até mesmo em casa. https://youtu.be/FGf_ZCMn4uQ Para mais informações, clique aqui.
