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.
Haha - love the title, especially after your explaination. I love the color violet your chose and the detail your captured.They are an interesting flower - very pretty.
@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.
Beautiful capture and gorgeous colour - these are my favourite shade of lobelia - can't wait to get going with summer pots in the garden - these lobelia always feature in my garden
