Did you believe me when I said I like purple?
While pulling weeds the other day, I surveyed my landscape and noticed, for the first time, just how many different purple flowers we have.
Most of them, I inherited. But maybe, subconsciously, that’s why I insisted on buying this house rather than the one with the fancy kitchen that Roger wanted.
My most prized contribution is the silver-purple rose, which looks pink in the show. I’ve always wanted a purple rose bush, and last summer I made it happen.
Come enjoy my garden with me…and leave a comment or I’ll make you pull weeds. (If the slide show doesn’t load, please click on View all images. )

Your video just will NOT load for me, bah. But I believe yer crazy about purple. And I’mjealous that you have a video of it that I can’t see.
I love purple flowers! I just wish I had a green thumb to make them grow!
The purple/silver rose IS beautiful. I like the purple chives too. Those look really neat.

Love all the purple flowers. Purple is my favorite too.
Wow, what a great garden – the pompoms of the chives make me smile! I too like purple and have a reasonably purple garden – it could do with more though!!

Y’all are invited to sniff and quaff.(The flowers and my mojitos, respectivelly.)Lollipop — yes, the chives are edible, but not the flower part (as far as I know).Jess — I most definitely should get some columbine.
Beautiful flowers! I have a blueish-purpleish thing and have no idea what it is called. I pick out what I like and have no idea what some of my flowers are called! I guess I should save those plastic thingies that come in the pot. I just figure they are all the same – sun, water, Miracle Grow!
I love all the purple! WE bought a purple rose bush…but I killed it. I need to stop touching things in our yard because my husband has a magical green thumb and mine is completely black…
Gorgeous. Are the purple chives edible? I hear chives and I think herb, but with the flowers?
