This week’s Sunday Stills Monthly Color Challenge is ‘Purple.’ See more responses here.
I’d like to say I have some kind of theme going here, but I don’t, outside the color.
First up is a bee approaching a very purple bougainvillea.
In the gallery, we have a Fiery Skipper butterfly feeding on a Blue Heliotrope (Heliotropium amplexicaule) flower, a purple and white spider lily, and some dark purple Helmet Urchins clinging tenaciously to a rock.




Then there’s a sign advertising purple ice cream. Not sure what flavor that is, but I’m a bit wary.
And finally, a lush purple orchid.

I love the butterflies, but that lily is my favorite.

All these florals are so gorgeous, Graham! Love the bee on the bougainvillea. Funny, I have a similar pic of the Fiery SKipper on a purple flower in my archives 🙂 Maybe the purple ice cream is grape or lavender, LOL!

Thanks Terri. Those ice cream flavors are what make me wary!
