Purple is my mother’s favourite colour. So for Cee I have chosen one wild flower, a second flower from my garden and the third beauty is my favourite orchid.
Pasque flower at Kjugekull, Skåne. These flowers are quite rare and you are not allowed to pick them or dig them up to plant in your garden.
Cranesbill geranium from my garden. Lovely flowers in bouquets and especially together with orange and yellow flowers.
Cattleya. Photo from my dear friend Börje’s greenhouse. Cattleyas are easily grown in your own window – flower generously and are found in a great variety of colours.

Such gorgeous purple flowers! It’s also my mom’s favourite colour. 🙂
🙂
Super purples, great photos! The colors are awesome!
Thank you so much!
Love the light in the first AC. The Cattleya is my pick though 🙂
Thank you, Madhu – and, yes, the cattleya is my favourite too.
A wonderful purple collection….so vibrant and uplifting. I have that cranesbill geranium in my garden….the bumble bees love it….so you have transported me all the way into summer, thank you 🙂
Let’s hope spring will last a bit first…!
Fabulous! So bright and full of life!
Ese, I agree – full of life!

Thank you!
I really like the cranesbill geranium. It is something I have not seen before. Those darker veins down the petals give a really nice photogenic effect. Love your purple interpretation.
Thank you – they are abundant too when they are here!
purple is my favourite colour and I love these
How lovely! I do like them too, but my mother even more, I think.
How can we not love the colour Purple …
Lovely choices with such differing purply hues Ann Christine 🙂
No, how can we not? It’s a colour full of life and joy!
Gorgeous purple series, Leya! I especially like the Cranesbill geranium from your garden 🙂
Thank you, Amy, I love them in bouquets on my table!
What a stunning color … and you have captured it – because purple often turns into blue in photos. Excellent job, A-C. I was at Dunkers yesterday and enjoyed Christer Strömholm’s art – you should go, just amazing .. post tomorrow.
Looking forward to it!
You are welcome whenever you have time. *smile – posted today.
I have so often wondered, Ann-Christine, about the URL of your blog … Care to share?
Uh, about that I know nothing! What’s it good for? Is that something about RSS or what it’s called? I’m not that technical…please enlighten me?
The URL of your blog is the name by which it is found on the Web.
Mine is http://www.margaretrosestringer.com.
Yours is lagottocattleya.wordpress.com.
For all this time I have been thinking your must have something to do with cattleyas … and then I think it also contains the ”leya” … and so I ask you – what does it mean, please ?
OK – I thought about sharing in another sense…:-D. lagottos are my dogs, or the breed of my dogs, and cattleya is an orchid – you can see one in ”The Colour Purple” for Cee. I guess I chose this combination because I adore them all…lagottos and cattleyas. Then – I shortened it to ”Leya” because, just like my own name (Ann-Christine) I got irritated with it never fitting into any forms and being too complicated…
Great explanation ! – all is now clear ! 🙂
Your purples are stunning!! Thanks so much for participating! 🙂
Thank You!
