What is it about purple flowers that stirs my creative juices? I don’t know. Here is a water lily that is absolutely beautiful.

And, here is a purple crocus similar to the one that was a model for my flower appliqué.

And, finally here is the delicate pansy.

Of the fabric I have purchased in the last 6 months, about 80% of it has been some shade of purple/violet. I’m sure I will grow out of this trend (maybe), but I love how the shades of yellow and green cradle the purple flowers. I don’t know what it is. Oh, well. Happy Gardening! Have a nice weekend and enjoy the flowers.

The flowers are so beautiful – I’ve been promising myself a trip to the nursery to get some pansies. I know they’ll hold up even if we get some more snow this month or next.

Pansies are real cold hardy. I love them because you can use them in so many things or just admire them. These have really burst forth with so much color this last month-the front of the house doesn’t get much sun in the winter but I like to have my fall garden not far from the front door. Take care!
