SPIDERWORT Tradescantia hirtusuitflora

Let us examine another wonder of nature that God has created for our enjoyment. Psalm 40:5 best expresses my thought, “Many, O Lord my God, are the wonders you have done. The things you planned for us no one can recount to you; were I to speak and tell them, they would be too many to declare.”

SPIDERWORT Tradescantia hirtusuitfloraSpiderwort is a showy three-petal wildflower with violet-blue flowers and six bright yellow stamens. This wildflower grows along our driveway, along the roadside, and all over the granite outcrops where a little soil has formed.
