Purple - or perhaps violet, mauve, red-blue or blue-red - are all among May's favourite flower colours. Although not very many species are shown here the colour is well represented in the garden's collection of geraniums, irises and tulips which are shown elsewhere.
The photos include Aquilegia, Centaurea, Pansies, Sweet Peas, Bluebells, Campanula persificifolia Primula vialii, Crocus, Himalayan Honeysuckle and Campanula glomerata.
