It's really not a true purple, I guess but that's what I call it. The falls are a more Indigo color and the standards are more purple. I like it even without a name, but it doesn't increase very fast. I have buds coming like crazy on the little guys so I should be kept busy soon trying to take pictures. I better go buy that new camera one of these days so I can get practicing with it.

My possibly Earl of Essex bloomed today. It is about two weeks early. It must be happy it was fed compared to years before because it is bigger.
