The Color Purple...for SKYWATCH photos, see post below.

A beautiful iris in Queens Park, Toowoomba
The twins assure me that these cups are purple...

All these (mainly) flowers, I have thought of as purple...when I see them all together like this, I think I need to readjust my color chart!

these purple flowers were in the garden in Toowoomba

now these magnolias were so outstanding, how could I call them pink and not purple?
do you think the sunset was purple here?
and now this flower looks more pink than people, but they do have they purple tips on the ends...
My orchids are all blooming at the moment...

It's true--there are so many shades of purple in the flower world. I think the cups are fuchsia in color, which my dictionary defines as purplish red, so that counts as a shade of purple!

Thanks for visiting my blog.

I love that colour. I always think of this quote from the movie, [p]I think it pisses God off when you walk by the colour purple in a field and don't notice it.[/p]

Ah PURPLE! My favorite color and for so many reasons and specifically because the color purple/lavender is the international color for Epilepsy.
You have found many of the lovely purple hues everywhere! Beautiful.
