Here’s the original photo of the flower for my previous post in the challenge “What color do you think I am”.
The Latin name of this flower is Trachomitum venetum, and it’s subspecies of the sword-leaf dogbane (Apocynum venetum). Apocynum venetum is considered native to northern Asia and Southeast Europe: Italy, Bulgaria, Romania, Yugoslavia, Turkey, Ukraine, Russia, Siberia, Central Asia, Iran, Iraq, Cyprus, Pakistan, Afghanistan, China, and Japan.

The blooms have a cool pinkish color. I noticed it looks a little bit purplish on my computer screen than in real life and on the camera screen. Hopefully, your screen has better settings than mine. Interestingly, the Latin and Bulgarian names of the plant contain the word “blue”. How would you call this color? Does it look like what you guessed?

My color was purple. I haven’t seen him here
I have only seen it in Pomorie, but maybe it grows in other places too.
Thank you so much for your kind words!
I don’t remember seeing this flower in our country. Of course, I missed the color again ?
It’s endangered and very rare here too. It wasn’t an easy one to guess.
It is a beautiful flower, I think I haven’t seen it here.
Thank you very much! It’s endangered and very rare here too.
well my smokey teal was completely wrong!

You get full points for a creative answer though!
it is fun with the creative answers! i have more!
I thought it was light purple, I was not so mistaken
You were very close, well done!
I don’t know if it grows in my area … but I think you get it in a flower shop …. I didn’t guess the color …. I thought it was orange
It’s an endangered flower here and I have seen it only by the seaside.
She is very pretty in colors, dear friend
I got this right too. I am so happy. LOL
Well done, and thank you for playing! 🙂
Beautiful colorful bloom indeed. I have not ever seen them here in Canada. The color on my screen is pink and not purple….
Thank you so much! I am glad it shows the right colors.
I do not think they grow in my area. I guessed pink and white. Lovely blooms.
You guessed both colors, well done!
