I am taking care of a this plant for a friend. Neither of us know what type of plant it is. It has a reddish "fuzz" on the leaves and has recently started growing small purple flowers (not often, however).
This plant requires very little attention. I put it outside on the porch in the summer (indirect sunlight). It seems to love the heat and I bring it inside during the winter months.
Is anyone familiar with this plant? I'd like to know the name at least.
Looking forward to your replies!

I still believe this is a Brown Spiderwort. I have had different begonias for many years and they bloom profusely for many months.
I looked at the link given for begonias and there are a lot of nice plants pictured but I did not see anything similar to this plant. And lots of flowers.
Yes, I have a plant like this. It is sometimes commonly referred to as Moses in a Boat because of the way the flowers come up from the very center of the rosette of leaves. Sometimes classified as a tradescantia and sometimes as rhoeo.
It seems to be a begonia
