Plumbago auriculata (I), 10.21.25

I find this plant incredibly difficult to capture because of the color. When I see them on my walks I puzzle over them … blue or purple?! Really, I think it’s one of those in between colors that could be seen either way, depending upon the viewer. But I do try to create the image in the color I remember. Straight out of the camera (SOOC for those in the know) it appears quite blue, but, at least to me, there needs to be a bit of the purple thrown in. Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe I need to walk back and have another look! And maybe, to you, this does just look like plain old blue. Do tell!

I’m rather ill — even had to cancel out of this weekend’s symphony concerts — but I am going to post this and crawl back in bed. I confess there are times when I am ready to say goodbye to my flowers. BUt I guess I”ll post this today and ponder more.
