Seeing


Do you know this flower? {smile} I'm smiling because if you live in Georgia I know you have seen it many times. It knows no social constraints—I've seen it languishing along Broad Street in the dirt as well as in a pristine Summerville perennial border. It's name is Spiderwort (Tradescantia) and some consider it a weed...and some don't. It's all in your perspective.

I think it's beautiful! I just ordered a book called "Weeds of the South" and will look forward to seeing if this is included!

I love spiderwort, have a bed full in my back yard. I especially like it mixed with daylilies.
