Another bunch a purple tulips (deeper tone than the other group)

Wonder if the camera got the nuance.

Ça c'est une de mes plus petites pivoines. Près des tulipes rouges et blanches (on les voit  dans la 'reply' 38, au fond de l'image, à droite) la plus grosse est déja grande de 60 cm (2 pieds).

Took more pics today of these - the violas around the apple tree in the far end of the back yard. Again this photo's 5 days old.
