It looks so similar to my biggest problem weed, Tradescantia fluninensis!

Very nice not grown the white one, if you would like some seed of C. tuberosa I can send you some later in the year when they set, they grow like weeds here popping up all over the place.

I have lots of C.tuberosa seed from last years plants (grown from your seed).
I'm looking for C.communis seeds if you see any though.

Yes, I can definitely tell by the flowers (that's how all plant life is grouped into families).

Perhaps you would like a new problem weed Delonix - I have lots of spare seed for C.tuberosa!!!

No thanks! I have spider plants, Thunbergia 'Blushing Susan' , Lantana, (3) asparagus fern species, and Tradescantia fluninensis which I need to eradicate!

You'll need something to fill all that space after then!!!!!!

Yes, like a hole in the head! lol!

It's very, very unlikely I'll get rid of the Wondering Jew or the Asparagus ferns
