3 Plants for now: 3rd week of June

In flower Blue Spiderwort, Tradescantia virginiana, worth looking at; in leaf is unremarkable and can look tatty at times, but right now is the best of it and that’s the first picture. Second an unknown cultivar of Red Hot Poker, Kniphofia uvaria, that’s been here and there in the garden for 18 yrs. Lastly the most commonly seen Day Lily, Hemerocallis fulva (having a particularly good year), which also has many cultivars like the previous two, a plant that can take more than its fair share of the garden and is capable of elbowing out its neighbours.
