This was deepest purple cineraria I've ever seen. The purple shade tends toward the red like a deep maroon. This is what is known as "florists cineraria" which was developed from a crossing of two types of pericallis from the Canary Islands. My Fx2 post for this week.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
