    I purchased this houseplant at a nursery and promptly forgot its name. Its leaves are pink on one side, green on the other. Small pink flowers. Any idea? I think it started with an "M". Thanks!

    Hmmm. Don't think so. The flowers don't look anything like my plant. Here are some more photos...roots and flowers.

    Thank you for the new pics. I thought the white at the front was an ornamental stone. No ... it is not Tradescantia! Sorry.

    Maybe an Adenium? The caul looks right, but your flowers aren't open enough to make a determination.
