In our garden you will find these bright blue Tradescantia or Spiderwort plants. Tradescantia is a North American native. They even can become invasive and show up in areas where you did not intend to have them. Here are some photos that Pieter took a couple of weeks ago from its beautiful blossoms. Enjoy! Below is also a reminder for the three Giveaways by dear blogger friends.
We did collect some local rocks from our property and made a kind of rock garden with them. That's also where this Tradescantia lives. Photos are taken around 9:30 AM.
This photo is from last year and taken one month earlier. Color does vary, depending on the spot where they grow.

Beautiful. I wish the spiderwort would come invade this land. :) Two years ago on a trip to North Carolina, my uncle actually collected huge rocks from the field next to my aunt's house and carried them in the trunk of his car all the way back to Ohio so he could make a rock garden. Ha! We all thought he was crazy. Have a terrific Thursday. Tammy
ReplyDeleteHello, dear Mariette,
ReplyDeletethis Tradescantia is, as all your plants, extraordinary. This is a special bue, I love so much. Tradescantia loves also, to live near the pond and I think, it looks nice with water, too. Thank you for mentioning my giveaway.
Best greetings, Johanna
Oh, beautiful color they have!!!
ReplyDeleteI checked with the PC dictionary. And it said "Commelinaceae"or "Asiatic dayflower". Your link explains the flower only last a day. Must be really rare chance to be able to see the flowers.
Loved the awesome color♡♡♡

ReplyDeleteGood morning Mariette,
ReplyDeleteI remember that back in Ukraine it was very popular as an indoor plant, but if I remember correct the blooms were white. I've never seen the one with blue flowers until now. It's very beautiful.
I planed to send you cuttings this weekend, but my toddler and I are very sick right now. Hopefully, I will recover by Saturday, so I can make that trip to the post office.
Have a wonderful day.
Wow, those are beautiful flowers! I love the yellow inside the lovely soft purple...so pretty!
