SSC - complementary colors - purple flower

seems that i'm as frustrated at purple as much as red for being difficult to match what i see. but other than that, this really is a purple flower with a green leaf. it isn't as blue as shown here. i tried adjusting when taking the picture as well as after the fact, but it is what it is.

It looks mostly purple on my screen, Laura. (Purple, blue and red are always difficult for me too. I can never photograph blue lobelia. It always looks purple no matter what I do.)

Anyway, this is really pretty and we appreciate the effort. :)

okay - so i wasn't really thinking and just looked at the wheels in the comment section of the challenge description for the week - i saw light purple across from light green. of course yellow is the complement to purple. so i definitely goofed on the challenge. i suppose if i got it right all the time it wouldn't be a challenge!

glad it looks purple to you - i really do need to calibrate my screen, but it seems daunting.

thank you kindly. the flowers are from my only gardening i've done in years - i'm so surprised that they are still happily blooming at this late date.

Oh good! (on my screen it is more blue - but the flower itself is indeed purple.)
