May 16, 2012 -- purple lisianthus

The purple lisanthus in these bottles came with some other florist flowers a friend gave me. I've been trying to discard them for over a week, but they are absolutely ironclad, refusing to show any signs of fatique, and they look so pretty with yellow green I can't let them go. (On my monitor these flowers look bluer than they are; they're a deep purple.)

The prettiest thing in this combination, though, is the purple vetch I picked along the roadside three days ago. It has faded to a gorgeous pale lavender (which looks sky blue in this photo).
