It’s strange how you never know. One of my more popular posts so far was simply titled “Purple”. Who knew it was such a popular color. But it got me thinking about just how many shades of purple I could find in the plants around me. Turns out to be quite a few. The picture immediately above was taken in my garden, while this one was taken at Umm Qais in Jordan.

Between these extremes I found shades of purple all over the map – literally and figuratively – including Canada, Jordan and the USA. I hope you enjoy.
