| Hello again,
I don't know if this plant is a native, I just know that it's a very regal looking plant with a truely lovely flower. They are growing on a gravelly hillock about five feet above a small pond. Thanks again.

| You have found spiderwort. The native Virginia Spiderwort is blue, but I have seen blues, purples, whites and yellows. They like to be close to water - even survive salt water tidal surges, |

| AKA Tradescantia virginiana, at least the native species. Most of the named varieties available at the garden centre are hybrids of this and others. |

| Thank you so much. I was fooled once again by the color of the flower. |

| Nice. I've never seen it in white. I got mine (Purple)when they were getting ready to build a building. I went and dug it up. They are doing great now. |
