Purple Petunias in bloom

in #colorchallenge5 years ago (edited)

The weather has turned very warm here in England and the flowers are starting to really bloom.

We planted these purple petunias last week and they have taken off really well.

We water them daily to keep them healthy as the sunshine has been up in the 30 degree range.

I do like that deep purple colour and they are great for shallow depth of field photography..

I just adore those deep clear colors 💕

I didn't know there are bannees for every color/day.
They are beautiful, I think I should use them too

I love the colors of these flowers so beautiful, stay cool and hydrated

It's been getting very hot here...at last 😂 and the flowers are loving it.

Yeah, the deep purple is very eye catching.

I have saw some on the news crazy hot there with records being broken all over

Yep, every day it seems temperature records are being smashed!

As you mentioned. Got to stay hydrated and out of the sun but you know the Brits.

As soon as the sun is out they are all sunbathing and getting burnt to crisps 😂🍦😋

Ohh yeah Summer days are few and far apart there so I am sure so may people are making the most of it with little regard to common sense

Oh, purple is so brilliant, isn't it? I always look forward to Sunday because of the color, although I do like the red and yellow too. Or perhaps, they are just easier to find in nature.

Your petunias are quite prolific, Michael! Do you give them just water or add a little plant food? Have a most wonderful Monday!

Hi Denise, yeah the colour purple in my experience is quite rare in flowers. I like these deep colours.
