The other day, after taking grandchildren to the park, my husband remarked on how most flowering shrubs, other than yellow forsythia, seem to be pink. I wanted to see if that was so. I went for a walk. There was pink, it’s true — one rhododendron a very dark pink. And some white (apple blossoms and white lilacs). But I ended up seeing a lot of purple, in both shrubs (lilac, wisteria) and early flowers (phlox, vinca, iris, and violets). Here are a few pictures.
In addition to my purples, I am posting two other recent photos: the sunlit new bike path and seed pods on a tree.
