Leading you up the garden path to a purple patch

Its back - spring purple patches all over our garden. Well I call it a garden but really it's just a hotch potch of whatever survives. It seems that purple survives very well in our jungle. In the front we have lavender, wisteria and blue bells (that really are purple). Neither of us have green thumbs. 
These photos were taken on my iPhone as I left for work this morning.
A Melbourne Spring Morning

Lavender is poking out of the soil and cracks in the garden path.
Wisteria is now climbing our walls after being savagely cut back by our gardner son, Mitchy.

Why call them blue-bells if they are purple or did I get that wrong?

How about a bit of Purple Haze by the 2 Cellos

  1. I LOVE lavender all over the garden! It looks ok, smells wonderful and is totally useful. Put lavender flowers into small, slightly porous bags and place the bags in your shoe cupboard.

    1. Hels,
      Sue never puts her shoes in the wardrobe - they are all over the house and I trip over them. Its one of those distractions between husbands and wives...............

  3. There is a popular misconception that simply being bilingual is sufficient to qualify a person to be a translator, but in fact, all translators need to be excellent writers, with a gift for written expression in their target language that is comparable to the gift of the author whose work they are translating.

  4. I love the 2 cellos.
    Saw them live last year at an Elton John concert, they were fantastic.
