Commelina



the photo doesn't give the blue flowers justice ... even though it's a weed it's still pretty. How marvelous HE is who even makes weeds pretty plants!

info on this here and here

tidbits from first info site:
Of the same family as the weed Wandering Jew (Tradescantia albiflora) which has white flowers but does not spread as aggressively.

course I like that it's the same family as the Wandering Jew --- like us being grafted in to Israel via being born-again --- Awesome!

tidbits from second info site:
Flowering - May - October.
Habitat - Moist ground in waste places, lawns, disturbed sites, roadsides, railroads.

funny, this plant is by the dumpster and DH works for a railroad and the truck he takes to work usually parks in front of the spot where the plant is.
