A splash of purple

About a week ago I pulled out of my driveway in the morning and saw this flash of color out of the corner of my eye. Just before the rain, this plant was barely even there - a touch of green that blended in with all the other green. The leaves are distinctive, so I knew it must be a perennial of some sort, but I had no idea the deep violet color that would spring forth from this otherwise verde'-like area of the front corner garden. I've been meaning to take a photo of it, but didn't get to it until now. What a joyous thing to look at every morning, and such a contrast to the pale hues of the rest of the area at this time. I wonder what else lies in wait...





It's such a joy to watch this, I may have to consider planting more of these around it. Anyone know what it is?

  1. I have no idea what it is, but it sure is pretty! Actually, I feel like my mom used to have some flowers that looked like that...hmmm. Love the amazing color.
