Colour Meme

Directions: Comment here to get a colour, then post ten of your favorite things of that colour in your journal.  (However, if you don't want a colour, please let me know.)

illyria_novia gave me purple!

Not all of these are actually purple - shades of mauve, violet and lilac are hopefully acceptable!

I have lots of flower pictures, so here's a collage of just nine

The flower collage is amazing! So many shapes and shades. Beautiful! And the purple-tinged crabs are lovely! So many sea creatures have gorgeous coloring. We just can't see them properly.

I've read jacaranda mentioned in books and newspaper. I never knew it's so beautiful.

Thanks for the meme, Maewyn. :D

Thank you! I wanted to use flowers, but I couldn't put only one in! I found the means to put them all together in Photobucket. The collage can be made smaller or bigger than this. I'll probably use this feature again in the future.

I found the crabs under rocks on our holiday at Kalbarri 18 months ago. The one at the back looks quite large, doesn't it? But they're really quite small (I love my digital camera!).

We had a jacaranda in our garden when I was a child. The flowers bloom before the leaves appear, so all you can see are masses of flowers. In some places, whole streets are lined with jacarandas. They look quite striking.

Thank you for offering the colour purple! At first, I couldn't think of many things (other than the flowers), but I eventually managed to find my 10!

What a wonderful, beautiful, colorful way to start my day. Thank you Maewyn!!

Glad to have brightened up your day!

Would you like a colour? :)

Maewyn,
Oh a colour meme - how wonderful !! I love purple too, and could probably find favourite things myself in a number of purpley shades...

I really love your flower photos, especially as a number of flowers you photograph simply aren't available over here !!

Being in an arty, visually creative job, where colour-matching and co-ordinating is essential, I am very colour-orientated, as you can tell from my journals - so many lovely striking pictures...so I will gladly accept a colour from you...

Thank you!

In order from left to right and top to bottom they are: linaria, violet, daisy, "blue" hibiscus (Hibiscus syriacus), hyacinth, walking iris (Neomarica gracilis), hydrangea, society garlic (Tulbaghia violaceae) and blue potato bush (Solanum rantonnetii).

I love your style - and as such, I think you deserve a red! :)

How exciting !! One of my favourite colours actually, and one that features around my own home in great quantities, you won't be surprised to learn !!
Red it is then...

Woo hoo! Looking forward to your post!
