Spider plant by beryl

Spider plant

A member of the tradescantia family of plants (hope the spelling is somewhat near !! )
One from the archives I am afraid-- no enthusiasm ,no go , bones aching + very wet dull day -- grumpy old woman once again !!
Nice capture of this plant, which in my country is known as "mala madre" which translates as "bad mother" because it throws the children down.

I know the feeling, we need some sun. I like the processing on this shot I am wondering how you achieved it?

@snowy---- I am not very technical Diana , but I went into the exposure , twiddled about a little and ruthlessly over exposed the contrast !! I wonder if this explanation is of any use --- a lot of things are a trial and error with me !!---Good luck !!

Don't blame you Beryl, think we are all feeling washed out with the weather. This is a lovely bright and interesting shot.

I am a grumpy old woman too Beryl...very under the weather but can nurse my cold by the fire so shouldn't grumble!! Sorry you are aching, stay warm & take a painkiller. I haven't see these spider plants for years but always liked the way the babies hung down.....looks lovely against the light.

I think we are all feeling a bit weather-grumpy! Lovely tradescantia - we used to have them and I had forgotten about them.

We are all feeling the same, Beryl - a long, dreary january! Nice to see the once popular spider plant.

Nice spider plant and babies shot. I think it is also called chlorophytum not sure how to spell it.

The processing works really well, and I like the touch of purple in there.

Lovely shot. I used to have a spider plant when we lived in the UK. I think it was the only indoor plant which survived at our house!!!
Sorry you are feeling grumpy, spring is just around the corner. My sister lives in the UK and is suffering the same symptoms. I will send you some of our sunshine and heat.
