Birdbill dayflower is in the spiderwort family (Commelinaceae). The two most common genera in North America are Commelina (the dayflowers) and Tradescantia (the spiderworts).

The flowers of all dayflowers are blue, often a lovely pastel. Birdbill dayflower grows in rocky soils in woodland and forest openings. While many of the dayflowers grow in wet soils, birdbill dayflower grows on relatively dry well drained slopes. Plants thrive with the onset of summer rains.
