| Found these flowers blooming in June along the railroad tracks. Was told they were either blue danube or blue bonnet. I searched online, definitely not blue danube but similar to blue bonnet the Texas flower but these have long spikey leaves approx 2 feet long similar to the day lilies. There are clusters of them on one stem. What are these?

| Looks to me like a Tradescantia. For me, they seed to the point of becoming a weed, so I'm not surprised you found them along the railroad tracks :) One year I planted some that were given to me-just popped them into an empty spot. Found out the spot I had for them was not big enough, and not "casual" enough. I'm still weeding them from that location, but they are gorgeous! |
