User's notes
A plant with the typical form of a tradescantia (?is it one?), with fairly thin leaves (definitely not thick like a more succulent type) and a distinct horizontal rippling from leaf tip to stem. (Photo1, top LH corner shows this clearly, as does most of photo 2 & photo 5). The stems are relatively hairy (photo 3), and the last 2 photos show the green & red flowerheads.
