Spiderwort


Spiderwort (Tradescantia obiensis) opens in the morning and if its a sunny day will close-up.  Spiderwort got its name not because the amount of spiders on its flowers lucky for us it was thought to help alleviate spider bites.  This has not be proven.  It was used as a pot herb by Native Americans.
