Spiderwort?

May 30, 2011

As best as I can tell, this is Virginia Spiderwort.

We were on our way to Virginia in May 2009 and were camping two nights in west Tennessee.  We had taken a drive to see some of the state away from our normal route, Interstate 40.  During a break in the rain, we took a hike through the woods at Montgomery Bell State Park.
