A German bearded iris in purple and white in our garden. Planted in memory, happily flaunting itself in this late April rain.
my dad 💜 bearded irises (and peonies and hibiscus), collecting old varieties. I’ve never been them blooming in his garden but I gifted him heirlooms as old as 1500. These aren’t old but he’d have loved their boldness. 🕯️ #alphabetchallenge #weekPforPurple

Close-up of a pale pink-purple African daisy flower in full bloom, with petals featuring thin and dark purple stripes radiating outward from a central, darker purple ring. Inside the ring is a textured cluster of small yellow and brown florets. A closed green-yellow bud sits to the left, set against a bokeh'd background of bright green leaves. b7d4e3f0-4f33-4284-b92a-a08cc86ec0b8
Nice pinstripe.

The photo is a closeup of a mass cluster of purple pansies in lighter and darker variants.
My purples will probably be mostly #bloomscrolling. I love all the shades, but it doesn't come up all that often in my life, outside of flowers. Curious, that.
Here are some friendly #pansies.

Do love popping into B&Q of an evening and freaking out the blokes whilst I march about confident in the tools aisle. Latest acquisition, a sizeable spirit level. Purple isn't a colour in my life but spotted the colour cards on my way to the till. Image shows a section of a display case with 3 x 3 colour swatch cards in a range of purple colours. Each has a small name and code in the top left corner. Names range from 'Crown Jewels' to 'Lavender Blaze'.

Here’s a demonstration of Pythagoras’ Theorem for #WeekPforPurple of Sheena’s #AlphabetChallenge.
For the uninitiated, it states that “the square on the hypotenuse of any right-angled triangle is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides”.

Many purple flowers grow around here. While looking for a good flower to show, I found these examples of purple cactus. In a hardware store & in the ground, February & November 2023, both in Queen Creek, Arizona. Cactus is it for today; maybe flowers tomorrow.

A vertical, close-up photograph capturing a bright purple sidewalk sign for spiritual services, angled slightly to the right. The sign features a black silhouette of a person in a meditative lotus pose, with seven glowing, colorful chakra symbols aligned vertically down the center of the torso. White light rays radiate outward from behind the silhouette against a swirling, ethereal purple background. The text on the sign is written in a gold, decorative serif font and reads: • Psychic • Tarot Card Readings • Meditation & Chakra Balancing • Located on the 2nd Floor / Walk-Ins Welcome In the blurred background to the left, a glass window displays similar text ("Psychic Readings") and a partial phone number, suggesting the shop's storefront. The composition focuses tightly on the vibrant colors and mystical iconography of the signage, emphasizing the commercial side of spiritual practice within an urban setting.
