The Color Purple

I am having writer's block this morning so I went to Pixabay and put in the word 'purple' to see if anything prompted me to write. Quite a few things came up such as flowers, skies, and abstract art. I chose this picture of a purple water lily because purple is one of my favorite colors, especially when it comes to flowers. If I had a garden, I would have it full of different shades of purple. What is your favorite flower color?

Our landscaping has been done in all pink. Requested it. I do have a rock garden that goes from pink to purple to white and then blue. I love that!

I like purple also, but prefer pink for flowers. I find that other colours will bring out the different hues in the pinks and purples in my flowerbeds.

When I was young, I was always dressed in pink and got really tired of the color. I have a friend who loves pink and just about everything she has is pink.

I wish I could have a garden because I would have at least one area with nothing but purple flowers.

@simone10 I love that flower and color it would be beautiful in a backyard pond. I am not quite sure I have a favorite color for flowers. I love the looks of all the flowers co-mingling.

I bet it would look really pretty by your pond. I like all colors too but I would love to have one area in a garden just for purple flowers.
