"Behold, my friends, the spring is come; the earth has gladly received the embraces of the sun, and we shall soon see the results of their love!" - Sitting Bull
My stream was in desperate need of some purple....so here's some early spring crocuses in the morning sun to satisfy all of your purple needs ;-)

Yes, I know...more crocuses ;-)
You'll have to bare with me...I have so many shots of them I want to share...and I just can't resist that dreamy purple!
This was from earlier in the spring, one of my first crocus patches. It was in the morning when everything was still dewy, and the sun just starting to shine. Please view large ;-)
I hope everyone has a great start to the new week...and a wonderful Monday!
Amethyst Deceiver (Laccaria amethystina)
This purple beauty is found in deciduous and coniferous forests in temperate zones around North America, Central and South America, Europe, and Asia. Though vividly purple when young, older specimens loose their bright coloration and are more difficult to identify, which is why it is called the "deceiver". Though technically edible, it isn't considered a good choice to eat especially because pollutants in the soil, such as arsenic, can bioaccumulate in the mushroom.

One from the archives... taken in a friend's garden in December.
A striking group of vivid purple flowers, which I believe are echinaceas,although I have never seen them this colour, perhaps someone can confirm their identification.
Standing amidst these endless rows of purple, the air filled with the scent of Lavender, waiting for this very short period of time when the sun is just above the horizon to illuminate the tips of the rows, giving depth and contrast to this stunningly beautiful place is actually not the worst way to kick off a day in the Provence.
I can't locate this flower in flower identifying web sites.. If you know this ones name please let me know.
The color purple represents many meanings of creativity, wisdom, peace, spirituality, mystery, and magic.

My very first crocuses I've have grown from bulbs. For people who know me it's a bit of a surprise, me growing flowers. I used to be such a city girl, but now I find a pleasure in doing different things ;)
