Close up of Lythrum - sure this is more purple than it was last year

A stunning colour...

Thank you, I am sure it was much pinker last year. I have another in the front garden supposedly the same so will have a look tomorrow and see if it is flowering yet. I did buy another one this year and it is very pale pink flowers but looks a bit sad, think the rain upset it early on in June.

Such a brilliant blue!

its more purple than blue Bathgate, but last year it was much pinker than this year. Think the rain must have affected it. lol. It is very pretty though and never fails to produce lovely flowers every year. :O)

Well aren't those the best kind of flowers--every year it blooms a different color. I love it.

I have just been out and taken a picture of the same plant in the front garden and there is a definite difference in shades of pink/purple. To the eye away from one another they look the same but when I put the pictures side by side, the front garden one is definitely pinker. lol. I am thinking now that it is the amount of sunshine, one gets more than the other, maybe that is the answer to the conundrum lol :O)

Bathgate they certainly are the best kind of flowers, lol. I thought I was going bonkers until I put the photos side by side lol :O) There is a definite difference in shades of colour. so I am not really that confused or am I lol :O) now all I have got to do is remember the damned name of the plant oh yes Lythrum thats it :O) haaaahaaaaaa!

Hope you are enjoying your summer Bathgate, its gorgeous weather here with intermittent showers mainly late on in the evening so no watering yayayayay!

I'm enjoying the summer very much. Thanks. I hope you are too. The only problem is too much to do and not enough summer. I can't believe my birthday is in a couple days 17th. I feel like I just had one, LOL
