More spring flowers

I don't know what these purple flowers are but I bought them last year and put them in a couple of my tubs and when they had finished flowering, I decided to leave them be and see whether they came up again this year. To my surprise and pleasure, they did! If anyone knows what they are, please do tell me.

Thanks for all your kind comments and Favs and I hope everyone is enjoying the weekend even if it has turned cold again in UK. At least we haven't got snow like they have in Canada!

Love this Rosie....beautifully captured. Fav for me. You asked about my lens... it is a 55-200. I use it almost all the time. Sometimes if in close quarters it is too big even at 55 so to put on my 18-55. Thanks for all your visits, lovely comments, fav's , and your wonderful inspiration!
