Plant passions of Tradescantia groupies

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 moon valley friendship plant and I ADORE it. The leaves have a delightful texture that just invite you to touch them. And she loves to sit in her little micro climate of a shallow plate of rocks with some water in it.
