Purple

The best source for color inspiration is nature itself, and one of my personal favorite color combinations is purple and green. There's something so stunning about a sea of bright green grass dotted with purple wildflowers. These particular flowers are called bee balm and grow in the prairie on my dad's property. I love how they stand out against the background with their delicate, thread-like petals.

This is my memory of one of my last days at a much-beloved home. Appropriately purple.

I love beebalm and it's named appropriately because the bees love it, too.

Gorgeous photo!

I love purple flowers but don't see them often. Here is mine I took a couple of weeks ago at just before sunset:
