Come Into The Garden, Mauve

I've always found this colour so appealing. While buying plants
at a nursery, my attention was drawn to the pretty mauve blooms
of the star-fruit. It was planted in a large plastic container,
and in the midst of myriad greens and browns, it stood out....
resplendent in mauve!

I've posted the picture of Mexican heather before but can't resist
posting again. Ditto with the wood sorrel below.

I'd always considered these 'edible weeds' not deserving their own
pot. But seeing the plant in others' blogposts changed my perception
of weeds. With some plants there's only a thin dividing line between
flower and weed.



I don't know what this is called but the mauve blooms are tiny and
pretty too! Even the stems are purplish and the variegation makes
it look attractive.
These are the mauves that I have now. My garlic vine died with all
the water-logging during the rainy season. But a cutting has survived.
It'll take some time for the mauve clusters to make their resurrected
debut...Hopefully, I'll be able to post the photos--in mauves!

And on to something else...With the change of season, the skies are
all dressed up for the occasion! Orange rules...and how!

The red bleeding hearts I'd posted earlier are baring their hearts out
now. But somehow I feel they're baring their souls too!
