Today in the Yoors Flower parade: the Tradescantia, or day-flower.
This flower is also known as; Moses in the rushes basket.
The perennial plant with long slender leaves blooms for only one day per flower, and that immediately explains its name.

This plant is not fastidious: it grows almost everywhere. Usually you see it in gardens, but according to Wikipedia it is also found in the wild in the Netherlands.
