Description : This flower is familiar from childhood, but I didn't know what it was called until I looked it up a few days ago. Continuing to see spiderwort all over the place, then noticing some of this by a road side brought it to mind.

I had to view the picture at full size before I could see that the lower petal is indeed white.

Location : Where the bike path crosses Cedar street, on the side where it's not paved yet, Somerville MA
