Description
Isn't this an interesting flower? I have no idea what it is. This is a shot I took last Spring at Wight's Nursery in Lynnwood, Washington.
Andrea? Chris? PJ? Anybody know?
I like the fact that there are three blossoms, three points of view, three petals each. And of course those fluffy, festive purple and yellow stamens!
.....
Edit note: I knew my friends would come through for me! Thanks for the plant ID! :)
Tradescantia, aka Spiderwort.

Yes!
This really looks like some sort of Iris, but I can't find any pictures online to support my theory LOL. Beautiful photo, whatever they are.
This is amazing not only in the striking colors, but in the uniqueness of the flower itself. What a tremendous shot! I hope you find out the name of it because I would sure like to buy one.
At a Nursery!!! ahhh another sneak one haha!! very pretty capture!
Beautiful colors.... Aloha
I would've said Iris as well, but the leaves don't seem quite right - nonetheless, another gorgeous shot!!
looks a bit exotic more like a house plant although i could be wrong ,i`m sure someone will know though :o)..whatever it is,it causes quite a stir with its beauty tara .wonderful capture my friend mick
I think it's a Tradescantia, probably Andersoniana group, and possibly the variety Zwanenburg Blue. The wild ones are native to North, Central and South America, and they are the same family as that ghastly pot plant that produces enless babies that you see dying in most peoples offices! A beautiful picture, Tara. In my garden these plants are slug favourites!
Whatever the name is, it is a fantastic and very interesting plant. Love the colour and the little fuffy part, it makes a real interesting subject. Hope you find the name and sounds like Adrea has. a good day to you "sneaky T" (new name for you Tara)
