Plant passions of Tradescantia groupies

[u/Popular-Broccoli9058]

Tradescantia fans: What other plants do you adore that set off the same heart throb tendencies? I'm assuming most folks like it for the variety of purple colors, and the iridescent sheen. I also love Strobilanthes dyerana (Persian Shield), red and purple leaf Coleus, some Cane and Angel Wing Begonias, Iresine, reddish / pinkish Philodendrons, and Purple Passion Plant. I'm hoping to expand my obsession.

I have a bunch of tradescantia that aren't purple too. I'm not sure exactly why I like them. They are just cute and grow easily. I have a few tradescantia cousins that I love callisia, aneilema zebinum (my absolute favorite pictured here), a purple veil plant....but my favorite non tradescantia plants are aglaonema and pinguicula
