One more from along the road, Spiderwort, (Trandescantia occidentalis ) also a native from Texas to Arizona and north to Montana. Perennial likes partial shade to full shade, but this one was in full sun. What I thought was so neat was the ladybug larva on the leaf.
I have never had any luck with this flower either, but my friend in Granbury has them everywhere without trying. Ah, the mysteries of nature.
