Round Robin Challenge: The Color Purple

Fresh (almost) daily from Julie Barrett


This challenge is from Vicki at Maraca.

Purple is hard to get, and it's certainly subtle in this photo of a wild garlic blossom:

Bee on Wild Garlic

My monitor isn't properly calibrated right now, so I hope it comes out.

And yes, we have a bonus bee!

Hi Julie :)

Great photo! At first I thought it was grapes, but the I realized that was a stalk rather then a vine. LOL. Yep, I am almost awake this morning. :) Nicely done.

 

Always, Carly

    Beautiful macro shot. I didn't know wild garlic was so pretty!
Chives have pretty purple flowers too, but we won't see those around here for months yet.

Nice, subtle color. I didn't know that garlic had blossoms, much less nice purple ones.
