OK, I'm on a roll now! I was thinking I wouldn't have much to show for purples because I feel I need more, but I may have more pictures of the purples/lavenders than any of the other colors!

FOREIGN SCANDAL - Barry Blyth - My favorite purple now because of THE RUFFLES!

EVENING TIDINGS - Schreiner's - My second favorite. I think this is one exquisite iris! The first picture was taken in my garden, and the next two at Schreiner's when the temps were in the mid-90's.

WEDDING NIGHT - Ghio - This should be shown with the plicatas, but I think of it as one of my favorite purples!

BUBBLE BUBBLE - Ghio - Another of my favorites! I think it's hard to capture the beauty of this flower in a photo.
