Thank you to Cee Neuner for alerting me to this challenge! I’m afraid I’m going to use some of the same subjects for this particular challenge that comes to us by Terri Webster Schrandt of Second Wind Leisure Perspectives.

These wild violets have just a hint of purple in their blossoms.

This iris has two shades of a violet nature.

Our wisteria is just starting to bloom. When it become full-fledged, it is a stunning sight to behold.

One more for the road…

I came across Purple Dog just yesterday. In the background, you can see his friend, Pink Monkey.

Purple 4_6_1 MACRO Sunshine’s Macro Monday We’ve always called these plants silver dollars because when they come to seed, the seed pods are round, flat, papery and about the size of silver dollars. I wanted to give you both the views of the plant to give it context. Thank you, Sunshine!
