Photo Hunt - Purple
The theme for this week's Photo Hunt is purple. This from the hebe that blooms at odd time all through the year
What a strange plant! Odd times throughout the year! I'll have to look this up, although I have a sneaking suspicion that it would not grow in wintery Upstate New York.
I did purple, too. I hope you have time to see! http://newyorktraveler.net/photo-hunters-purple/
