I love my little purple shamrock or officially known as oxalis. I like how it shows off it's pretty foliage and after awhile the foliage all dies back and the plant sleeps. It has little pink blooms too. You can find this plant with just green foliage too especially around St. Patrick's Day.
This is a liatris bloom. This plant was new for me this year. It had about 4 spike with these little blooms on each.
Here's a view with all the spikes blooming.
And lastly is a new iris I had bloom earlier this spring. Sorry I don't know which variety it is but it helped cheer up my pitiful looking garden this year.
Hope everyone has a great Purple Monday!!!
Lovely purples Susie, I hope this finds you doing well.
ReplyDeleteLovely purple flowers in your garden. That's where most of my purples are today too. The liatris is new to me. Happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely and unique flowers, Susie. I've never seen the liatris before. Happy Purple Monday to you! :-)
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Susie! What pretty purples you've posted today! Love that Iris!

Have a great week!
Hi Susie, Love your purples this morning... My favorite purple I think are our Irises... Love the one you featured today.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.
Hugs,

Morning Susie, Such pretty purple plants today! The iris is stunning. Hope this is the start of a good week.
ReplyDeleteSusie yellow and purple is a favourite combination of mine - so that Iris is a real treat to see. Liatris didn't like my heavy soil and I really miss those pretty flowers.
ReplyDeleteI am having trouble leaving comments today. Happy Monday. Love your flowers, especially that Iris. It's a beauty! Hope this is the start of a good week.
ReplyDeletePurple is one of my favorite colors...especially in nature!!
ReplyDeleteI have liatris by my pond, and love it. Your iris is beautiful. You don't see yellow and purple together that often on an iris. Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteLovely shamrock, too.
It is amazing how many purple plants are showing up today, and how they all seem so different, yours included! I like the purple shamrock.
ReplyDeleteI like all of these purple blossoms, but the iris is something special. I wouldn't mind having that in our garden.
ReplyDeleteGreat purples! I love the iris. My mother always had purple iris in her flower garden.
ReplyDeleteHi sister!!! I enjoyed all your purpleness!!! I hope you are having a FANTABULOUS week!!!
ReplyDeletePretty purple! My favorite summer purple is Angelonia. That plant is the best thing to come around in a while. I plan to get more next year. I just hate that it is an annual though.
ReplyDeleteHappy Purple Monday (a day late!) :)
I like the Iris!
ReplyDeletePurple is numero uno in my book.
I luv shamrock.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is one gorgeous iris!
I never knew a purple shamrock!! Cool. I was so pleased to hear the intro music for Fernando Ortago's song here. Give Me Jesus is one of my all time favorite songs. Fernando used to come and play at our church in Phoenix before he became so well known. What a swell servant of God he is.
ReplyDeleteLiatris is a nice plant to have in the garden, it blooms every year here, sometimes quite tall, and this year it reached only about 12-14 inches tall.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it nice to have flowers blooming now and on into the Fall? Your iris does perk up the garden.
A lovely iris, Susie! Thanks for reminding me of the common name for oxalis--a friend and I were trying to think of this the other day and neither of us could remember:) Purple is a great color in the garden.
ReplyDeleteI love purple...you have great photos...
