This is a new color in hydrangea I saw recently at my favorite greenhouse. From a distance it almost looked black, but up close it was a deep reddish purple with blue/purple splashes at the center. It was quite striking and a far cry from the typical periwinkle blue.

They would look beautiful in the flower garden, Kathy.
That is if it ever warms up.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

It's a pretty color and I like the way you presented them by filling the frame. Nice work Kathy.

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.

Lovely colours in this capture, Kathy. Very much details and lighting in the scene.
