Greetings dear photography lovers

The small plant that I want to share with you today, is a "Purpurina", also known for the "Love of Man", although in the scientific field it is known as Tradescantia Pallida or Tradescantia purpurea, it is very common to find it in gardens, at least , in my country Venezuela. I have always been struck, first, by the beautiful and striking color that their leaves have, but besides that, I am impressed by their ability to adapt, on many occasions, I have seen them thriving in quite precarious conditions and well I can tell you , of the case that I show you in the graphs.

With some frequency they can be found, living in stuck to the trunk of considerably large trees. In the case of the plant that I show in today's photograph, at first glance, it seems to have no substrate to feed on, especially because it is a plant that normally lives on earth. But as I got closer, I noticed that the place where he was, was a small hole in the irregular bark of the tree, where over time he was depositing earth and that small amount of land is what allows him to survive.

Finally, I hope you like the simple editing that makes the two images, my intention was to highlight a little drops of Rosio, so I decided to play a little with the filters of the editor and image viewer that comes with Windows 10 default, nothing of the another world, because I do not really manage that area, but I have to find some time to practice it to see if I learn, because I have seen some wonderful works in that area. Well, for now I say goodbye until a next opportunity.
