I think what I especially liked about these flowers in the Copley Square Farmers Market were the blossoms yet to bloom.
But those that had bloomed were quite beautiful.

In sorting through photos for various projects, I came across a cache of purple. Now I have the urge to buy some purple marbles at the toy store, an eggplant and some grapes from the farmer’s market, and maybe pick up some purple paint chips from the hardware store. Who knows what purples may appear in the near future. Maybe I’ll even photograph a purple crayon. 😉
A Birthday Gift in Bloom

You know those cards that have the seeds embedded in the paper? Well, a friend gave me such a birthday card a while back. I’m sure it was meant to be planted outside but I tend to grow things indoors now. And so I tore up the black-flecked purple card embedded with wildflower seeds, and pushed the paper beneath the soil of a planter or two. I’d almost forgotten that I had done such a thing and then one day I noticed in a pot of marjoram, new green growth of a different hue. Wildflowers! Still, I did not think that they would grow very much. But the spring sun worked its wily ways and one day I peeked into the hallway where the pot does sit, and this is what I saw.
The Purple Calla

The grocery store in my neighborhood has started selling Calla Lillies in every shade but white. Mostly purples and golds, so far.
Aside from a purple silk dress I had in high school, I’ve never been a huge fan of the color. But that day in the grocery store, the dark hued plant caught my attention more so than its lemony neighbor. Now it sits in the kitchen window catching light.
A friend has been encouraging me to photograph this plant for a while. In a guest post, he raised my awareness of the Calla photographs taken by both Robert Mapplethorpe and Imogen Cunningham.
They chose white blossoms. For now, I think I will experiment with color. I’ll let you know how it goes. 😉
