It’s Purple Season!

Dear Liza,

As Spring has moved along, we have noticed the general color palette change. March was (mostly) the light pinks of cherry blossoms, coming onto the trees before any other color in the neighborhood.

But last night we went for a walk around the neighborhood and found a shift. Now, it seems to be purple season. This unusual rose was the first to catch my eye, and after that, I couldn’t stop seeing it.

The early big-headed lavender is up and full of bees and smelling like summer.

This Rhododendron is ten feet tall and sharing a lot of beauty.

I almost missed these deep purple petunias because they were so low to the ground!

And as we made our turn at the park, we saw this lovely iris standing above a bed of poppies.

Happy Purple Season, Liza!

Love,

Grandma Judy
