Sunday Stills: Purple

This weeks Sunday Stills Challenge was purple, the color of royalty.
These are Clematis that were at my Mothers last July.
This is my best purple shot this week. This is a relatively unknown and underused plant. It's common name is Painted Sage. It is Salvia horminium "Claryssa'. It really does not have a bloom, but very colorful bracts:)

Round Robin Challenge: The Color Purple

Purple the color of royalty! This was Vicki's idea, you can check out her blog at Maraca.

Well..as you all know I love flowers..the challenge for me..was searching my archives for the correct color purple! Purple varies so very much..and it is not an easy color to photograph. I had pinky purples, violet purples, reddish purples..but tried to stick with the color of royalty!This is some type of Wildflower in the bellflower family..not sure which one..it just appeared one day!

Pansy Purple Rain..a lovely trailing pansy that will fill a bucket in no time at all! Last Fall I took some photos in the shade..low and behold these Maple leaves looked purple! A purple slide..see there..I can photograph other things besides flowers and trees! Now I am off to see what purple things the other Robins have found:)
