Macro Monday: Purple

CIMG3693-1

Love comforteth like sunshine after rain.
                                                                             - Shakespeare

I think it annoys God if you walk by the color purple in a field
     and don't notice.
                                                                             - Alice Walker
                                                                                From "The Color Purple"

In my garden, after a rainfall, you can faintly, yes, hear the
      breaking of new blooms.
                                                                                  - Truman Capote

We call these ‘African Daisies’; I’m not sure what their correct name may be. Anyway I have a plant on my balcony, still producing new flowers in spite of the amounts of late summer/ early autumn rain we’ve had lately.

They are wonderful plants and grow in profusion in Napier. I love them. Their Latin name is Osteospernum.
