I am going to share some purple things that I have found in nature.

The purple tour…

#1 The iris

Loose yourself in the droplet of rain. Breath in, breath out.

#2 A slightly lighter shade of purple.

This was taken at an old abandoned mobile home park. Left overs from times past. Still so very lovely.

#3 Wild Artichoke Flower

These range from the size of your thumb to palm size and grow wild here in Southern California. You might have seen these around where you live. They are very common.

#4 Purple Meadow Sage

The background is meadow Sage. It was a great day out picking wildflowers with my oldest son, daughter in law and her friend (pictured) and of course the dogs!

#5 Purple Iceplant

Scientific name: delosperma sutherlandii

#6 I can’t find this one.

  Yes It is, it grows on this hillside about 10 miles away from me, but only blooms for a few weeks in the spring.

#7

This one had almost violet to deep purple on the same plant. Sorry that I cannot ID this.

#8 Lilac Ground Cover

This was fabulous looking. It was a huge patch of it near a creek.

#9 The very faintest of purple…

These sometimes have a light purple rim. This is a sacred Datura.

#10 Wild Radish

This can come in white, yellow, and this color!

I hope you enjoyed this purple tour through nature!

What do you think?

Nature gives us such perfection and beauty that we are obliged to preserve. All I can say is a fairytale adventure.

  Thank you Ileana! It is odd looking outside right now at the green hills. Usually there are paths crisscrossing everywhere, now the hills are a blanket. Spring springs without us. At least we have pictures and can share. It does help.
