RRC: The Color Purple
Suggested by Vicki, of the blog, Maraca
Ahh yes... the color purple. I LOVE purple. I just bought myself a new purple sweater, it is a great color for spring. :) I thought about painting my living room purple a couple years ago because of how calming it is to be around. Alan won that argument, and since he has to live with it too, we compromised on egg shell colored walls, but I got to put some purple accents here and there. Some dark purple shades for our funky lamps, and some big comfy pillows... purple of course. :) We are going to redo the decor in the bathroom this spring, and I have had my eye on a gorgeous purple bath rug and a fabric shower curtain with purple butterflies and dragonflies. Purple is the color of my moment.
Last week, when I visited the Conservatory of Flowers, the color purple was everywhere...
There... that's my experience with the color purple! How about you? Did you play the Round Robin challenges this time around?

Everytime I visit the beautiful conservatory in Tacoma, I always tell my husband how much I miss the one in SF. You got some beautiful flowers and I am now green with envy! Purple is a color that I find comforting, cheerful and spring like.
Loved the flowers
Monica
Great captures....they are vibrant! You did well!
Have you had a chance to see what I did with this theme?
I value your input & comment. Have a good weekend.

Hi Carly! I have some walls in my house painted purple. Darn I forgot to post those. I love your purple flower shots and your quotes :0)
I got my act together for purple and even posted this time around.
Have a great Saturday!

Oooh....lots of lovely flowers. Not much in bloom in my neighborhood yet.
Lovely, especially that first Orchid..it is stunning! :)
Beautiful purple flowers! It is cheering me up to see all this purple -- it reminds me of Spring, which I hope will be here soon!
Gorgeous flowers Carly! (I decided not to post my various purple flowers...you know, don't wanna "show you up!"...lol)
Here's mine:

Love,

Very beautiful flowers ! although puple is not really my favourite color, lol !
beautiful, beautiful flowers!
That's the great thing about living alone, Carly. If you want purple walls, you get purple walls...mine are sapphire blue at the moment, it changes about twice a year...Great purple shots for the challenge though.
Oh Carly...these pictures are absolutely gorgeous!!!!!!
Connie
Gorgeous! I had hoped to find time to get to a green house in search of purple flowers too, but never did. These are fabulous.
I see some beautiful purple here, I like the last picture, a great combination of the orchid hybrid.
Gorgeous exotic flowers. Very regal purple.
Those shots aren't just pretty - they're intriguing. All those shapes and patterns and colors!
Don't mind me - I'm playing catch-up tonight!
