(Day 57) - Violet Half-a-Flowers

There are so many variations of the color violet but I wanted to find one that had slight hint of blue. Have no idea what these flowers are called but when you look at the shape of the petals they look like half a flower, hence my unofficial name for them. But best of all, they were just about the color I was looking for.

@tinac1 - Thank you soooo much Tina! I'm really happy to know the name of these flowers. Although I may still call them 'half-a-flowers' haha! Didn't know they came in many other colors too, I have to try to spot them around.

I'm pretty sure this is Lobelia, but could be wrong as I'm new to gardening! Anyway, it's a lovely shot - following now x
