Tradescantia ohiensis
Flowers of T. ohiensis are in cluster with one opening at a time. For each flower there forms a seed pod maturing a a different time. You can see the differing stages of the pods.
T. ohiensis is used in prairie restoration projects. Each bloom lasts only one day and the seed matures over time making seed collection difficult.
