And now that I think about it, there's some purple out there. Gonna check this evening.

 

I like purple

This year I noticed I have a lot of pink going on :-? Pink isnt even on my list of favorite colors lol Maybe I should be PinkinIN?

 

I like purple too When I read the title of your thread it reminded me of this poem(and in honour of it being National Poetry Day here in the UK)

Warning

When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick flowers in other people's gardens
And learn to spit.

You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
And eat three pounds of sausages at a go
Or only bread and pickle for a week
And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes.

But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
And pay our rent and not swear in the street
And set a good example for the children.
We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.

But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.
Jenny Joseph

 

What a wonderful group of colourful flowers. Some of them are quite stunning really.

 

I try to find purple flowers in the spring nursery selections to plant for the summer season. I look forward to the purple flowers in the garden as the fall months usher in earlier evenings. I especially like to find new purple volunteers in unexpected places.

Eileen... I thought the same thing about the shamrock!
And I found more purple out there....
