Flower

I was going to do this flower for the 100 species project, but damned if I know what it is. Maybe next year.

Flower

[aesg (from livejournal.com)]

Spiderwort. Stuff is unbelievably prolific, bordering on invasive. After the flowers are gone, a plethora of seedpods appears; and the root systems is insane - making it nearly impossible to pull it out of the ground without the stalks breaking in all sorts of places and dumping seeds everywhere. Then when all the flowering is done, the leaves and center turn blackish and weedy looking. Sorry, I love nature in the city too, just not this particular bit - I have been fighting this plant for the better part of 8 years in my garden. And people buy it at the nursery!! [To those would-be purchasers, please just come over and I'll dig you some]

Good to know! It's still in bloom, so maybe I will do an entry for it this year.
