    Mary, you love it all! Purple flowers are often so delicate and lovely. I've noticed some beautiful wild purple asters while out walking lately.

    All so beautiful. The passion flower looks so exotic and I love thistles. Too bad they are so picky that nobody wants them in theor garden, I would love a whole patch of them back by the woods.

    Purple in any shape or form is just a great color.
    Do you take any pictures in parks in your county? I'm asking because I go to a few of them and am always looking for others to go to.

    BTW, a few of the pics on my blog are taken at a farm in our county... can you guess which one :)

    Thanks for the beautiful photos! I especially love the purple bee balm. Mine is red, and while pretty, I much prefer yours.

    Joan -- I saw your photos, and I think they are at Wightman's Farms, no?

    Adventure girl -- The bee balm is in a little pocket park close to my house. For some reason, the deer always eat mine. The others are all in my yard. The thistle is wild.

    Absolutely beautiful flowers! Wow I am amazed at how lovely the flowers are and the plants are sooooo green. Here in So. Calif. the flower stems are always touched with a little brown from the heat and not alot of rain. Beautiful blog! Enjoyed ALL your lovely photo's.

    Absolutely stunning photos! I am impressed with those wild flowers and its colors. Passionflower looks beautiful and so interesting with its details in the centre of the flower. I’d never seen such a flower before. Thank you for sharing!

    Lovely photos! I love purple flowers. Second only to pink ones. Or maybe white ones. Oh, heck. I love flowers.
