Allium Splendor-2010

by Kay~Kacey on 4/22/2010

Ah, my allium have started to bloom again this year!

allium-6580So pretty. So delicate. So purple. (okay, really kind of lilac colored…but that is still purple!)

allium-6582Yes, I know they are part of the onion family. I don’t care. Maybe that’s why the deer leave them alone!

We keep saying we’re going to put out more of them, but forget to do it each year… :mad2: THIS year we’re going to remember!!

allium-6594We do have a batch of them just starting to bloom down in the woods. I’m sure I’ll have lots more photo ops with them! I heart purple flowers!

As an aside…are you looking for some new great textures? One photographer that I adore and admire, Annie Manning {Paint the Moon} has some great new textures available. Check them out!

Purple Goodness

by Kay~Kacey on 4/1/2010

Ah, all is right with my world.

purple-hyacinth-6088Since I’m slightly addicted to purple flowers, as you know. I was so excited to see this brave purple hyacinth pushing his way up through the remains of the lavender. Soon, very soon, I’ll be surrounded by purpley goodness. Lavender, speedwell, and HOPEFULLY LILACS.

Next to collecting milk glass, I think my second favorite thing to collect is photos of purple flowers!
