The Color Purple 9 Aug 2024

Could it be that there are some signs of the end of summer? There is a hint of coolness in the summer air. The humidity is a little less. The plants are past their peak.

Today, the photos I have chosen has a purple tone. At least, I think that they all do. I hope you enjoy them.

Tomorrow, I will be joining the Six on Saturday group. We are a group of gardeners that meet online and post 6 gardening photos for the week. Why not collect 6 of your own and join us. The rules are here on the website curated by Jim Stephens. https://gardenruminations.co.uk/

The Rose of Sharon or Althea has such a beautiful shade. It is in its second blooming for the year.

The ginger lily has a beautiful bloom but since it is low on the plant, you have to be persistent to see it.

The Tradescantia or Purple Heart is also in its second blooming.

The Stokes has been prolific this year. This is from a group transplanted from the seedlings of the mother plants.

The Vitex is also in a second blooming.

The variegated liriope is rather non descript until it blooms. It then stands out from a distance.

Hope you liked today’s purple theme.

Happy Gardening!
