purple

 

To me, this orchid looks more pink, but everything I've read online about the bulbophyllum longiflorum thouars says it has 'purple spotting'. It's common name is 'pale umbrella orchid'




but, I think we can all agree that this card from Czech Republic is definitely purple

as is this purple moon

Nice purples! I don't know why, maybe the order changed since the color list was posted, but I had purple scheduled today too!

I agree it is not an easy colour to spot on postcards. The purple moon is a great find!

My purples are here.

I really like the flower: I have never heard of it.
