Purple is one of my favorite colors, along with blue, and even black.
This is so vibrant and so pleasing to the eye.
A great start from you.....

Spiderwort
(Commelinaceae)
Tradescantia Occidentalis
Also called: Widows Tears
I would be lucky to find any of these blooming in the wild at this time in my area, they usually bloom a bit earlier than August, however they are also cultivated in some gardens, which sometimes can prolong them. Some variation of colour can sometimes be evident - they can be a lighter blue or white. This is an excellent flower, I find them in dry hillsides & near RR tracks.

Thanks for the comments! MaryO this is not a trillium. I'll remember it, eventually.

Look at all those wonderful feathery bits :-))) Beautiful colors and it does feel cool and shady (which would be a nice change of pace for me right about now!). I like the soft lighting, too.

The flower looks like a blue Trillium, maybe? Do you know? It's lovely.

Love those heavenly blues. Beautifully composed and great example of use of lights and darks.

Um? 173? This one's worthy of a really nice title.

Almost mysterious with the deep, dark, rich colors.
