I have no picture, but i have a description for you. It is dark green and the backs of the leaves are a dark violet color. In 8 weeks the leaves grew 1” length and ½” (2” long, 1 ¼” wide now) Top are really big . It has 2 stems that aren't thick. The texture of the leaves are just a little bumpyish, and its not shiny.

Sounds like Tradescantia spathacea (also known as Rhoeo spathacea); common name Moses-in-the-bullrushes or Moses-in-a-boat (name comes from the cup-like inflorescence). Good pic at link (bottom of page).

Need a lot more to go on. Is this a houseplant? In the wild? Where? Flowers? What shape and arrangement are the leaves? Any hairs? Are the stems upright? Round or square? Does the plant have a scent? Are the veins netted or parallel?
