its a flower.
Reply:Spider wort is a purple flower with long stems which grows in moist soil. It usually grows in the wild. It is a form of an iris or lily. I do not know the scientific name but if you find it, dig the whole clump with dirt and put in another deep hole. Be sure and give it plenty of water. Blooms in the morning and closes up during hot sun. Beautiful flowers. Blooms all summer long!
