I’m sharing these purple and violet flowers for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge in the hope they will be uplifting.
If you know what the purple spikes are, please let me know and I’ll update the caption. At a push I’d guess nepeta but if so, it’s an unusually fine flower.
The way those leaves are pointed i’m thinking maybe Agastache?
Could even be Beelicious Purple. I want some!
I wonder. I like Agastache. ‘Blue Boa’ is another purple.
Exactly what I needed today! Thanks so much.
Perhaps it was not exactly what you needed back then, but close enough!
What a marvelous gallery of flower photos for this week. My favorite is your second photo 😀
Thanks, Cee. That one seems to have been the most popular.
They are indeed uplifting, and so needed! I am partial to the blue glass and red hollyhocks in the top photo, but all of them are mood lifters. And who can beat those sweet violets for lightening the heart? Thank you!
I’m glad you liked the first one – I thought it made for a colourful opener. I remember your partiality for a hollyhock.
They are, indeed
Thanks, Derrick.
Beautiful all 💜💜💜
Thank you 🙂
You’re very welcome
I really like the dusky color of those flowers in the second picture, but they’re all stunning! Those spikes look like the May Night salvia that I have.
There are lots of good salvias these days. We tried out ‘Caradonna’ this year, hoping for something spectacular, but it sulked on my Mum’s clay. I should have known better.
Gorgeous! I had a lacecap hydrangea just like the one in your photo in our previous garden in Scotland – I miss it!
They’re great plants.
How beautiful! Purple is definitely my favourite colour of all in the garden.
It seems to go with everything, I agree.
