Description

Isn't this an interesting flower? I have no idea what it is. This is a shot I took last Spring at Wight's Nursery in Lynnwood, Washington. Andrea? Chris? PJ? Anybody know? I like the fact that there are three blossoms, three points of view, three petals each. And of course those fluffy, festive purple and yellow stamens! ..... Edit note: I knew my friends would come through for me! Thanks for the plant ID! :) Tradescantia, aka Spiderwort.

Heck, with my extensive floral knowledge, I knew all along that is was a Tradescantia, probably Andersoniana group, and the variety Zwanenburg Blue.;) Gorgeous clarity, colors, lighting effects and textures in this remarkable macro, my dear! I love those petals and stamens.
