A few spiderwort (Tradescantia ohiensis) flowers still opening near the end of their season. As close to blue as I can get from the garden. #gardening #NativePlants #BloomScrolling #NorthernIllinois

@mariekung@growers.social Thank you, you have solved a long standing puzzle. I had many of these precious plants in my garden beds of my old home. I loved the glorious colour they brought and they were hardy and spread well. When I had to sell my home the new owner dug up the whole garden and put to grass. 😢😢 I had no chance to bring those plants in pot and could not remember name. The only photo I had was the blurry one below. Searched Australian plant books, still no luck. Have had all my friends on lookout- finally we know what we are looking for. 🙏🙏😊
