Little Bits of Purple Delight
Azalea
It’s the time of year when you don’t know whether to wear a raincoat. a sunbonnet, or a winter coat. In front of the glorious Azalea, you can see that Mary Ann settled on her felt bonnet and a warm shawl, and she’s off to search for her favourite purple blossoms!

Aubretia
The purple Aubretia in the rock gardens is in full spate…

Periwinkle
…while the sweet Periwinkle trails around in the edges of the hedges.

Anemone
The dainty anemone emerges in the shady woodsy places,

Hyacinth
…and the overpoweringly sweet-scented Hyacinth towers over little Mary Ann.

Violets
Her favourite purple spring flower has always been the violet…

Grey and purple look so well together. This is such a pretty post.
How Kind of Mary to bring back a tussie-mussie back for Mormor.
So far, we are still mainly in yellow flowering season here – daffodils, primroses in bud and cowslips are here and there. Soon, the purples will come out. What a wonderful time of year!
It is a wonderful time of year – we love to see the flowers coming before it has even warmed up much! Hopefully it is goodbye to soggy grey days for a good while!
What a lovely walk with Mary Ann, no matter what is going on in the world, the trees and flowers and birds don’t seem to notice. Our local Weeping Willow trees all have spring green floppy whips, the star magnolias are blooming, the Crocus and daffodils have popped up and the birds are singing. It’s comforting to have these things right now.
The birds are especially noisy here – it’s all noisy at dawn, and dawn is at a reasonable time of day at the moment – 7:03 this morning here!
Beautiful
Thank you so much Bodana ❤
It’s so lovely to see all these flowers in bloom- we awoke to yet another snowfall…. winter is not releasing its grip on our part of the world. Thank you for sharing the beauty!
Spring is coming! Coming slowly perhaps, but on the way!
A perfect post for Purple Day for epilepsy awareness. Lovely flowers.
One of our young relatives was diagnosed with Epilepsy at age 3…thankfully attitudes and opportunities are improving!
Violets have been and continue to be my favorite flowers too. Yes, the combination of gray and purple/violet is stunning and Mary Ann’s shushed clothing help make her stand out in the glorious colors that abound in your spot of the world. Thank you! We’re about a month or more behind you but you’ve given us plenty to look forward to.
We try not to gloat, but we are all filled with gladness when we see these wonderful colours after dismal grey gloom and downright wet of our kind of winters.
she looks so warm and serene among the purple flowers. Love her felt bonnet!
