It’s a colour known for its position on the rainbow
nestled between its brother , blue and its sister, violet
definately making a statement on the home furnishings front
in fabrics, curtains, sofas and carpets
garments too – brought to life by this deep dark purply blue
only – don’t call it blue – its got its own character

Some say this flower
Has its own unique place in the flowerbed
As it’s not blue, or violet – and please
Do Not call it Purple – there’s far too much blue in
Each of its petals
Some call it Violet-blue, but gardeners know it as Blue-Violet

The tussle between the shades of red
began as they fought it out on the painters palette
ballet of an artistic nature
started at opposite ends of the rainbow
The bluer shade he stood his ground
as artists painted the flowers he’d found
but as pigment scarlet to pallet was fed
the cold shade turned a more warmer red
as red-violet flowers changed colours in bed
to a host of new flowers of violet red

like most flowers, this plant has a most delightful
aroma, which is released when you pass its light
violet stalks.
each stalk contains an individual
note of
delightful fragrance, leading to
every butterfly in the garden
returning to your flowers to gain another sniff

Very striking – you stand out in a crowd
In fact, your flower heads offset the other colours in the border, from the
Orange of the marigolds surrounding your stem or the
Lemon yellows of the pansies nearby
Everyone in the garden, enjoys your colourful view, as
They pass you walking on the garden path

when you look at this plant
it’s funny how it works its way around
supporting walls or trees
the branches climb high, into blue sky
eventually allowing flowers to display
ravishing colours of purple, violet or pink
in some instances, even brilliant white
an oriental climber at home on any garden wall

Very striking colour – is the violet
it’s not as if she shy’s away among the other colours
on the contrary, if she wasn’t where she was, sitting by the rainbow, the others would
let loose – and you wouldn’t see them up in the sky
expect to see her vibrancy in the garden too, but
take care -for handling her delicate flowers, will leave a trace – that will follow you.
Now the flowers on the bushes
were somewhere in – between
as the bluebells merged somewhat seamlessly
into the gardens lavender patch
Dainty little flowers
occupying the small space
tween two giants of the flowerbed
attracting the fauna
The children smiled as they picked them
as it seemed very strange to them
the smell of the flower seemed to follow them
all around the garden
As they drank their lemonade
they asked are the flowers violet or blue
and surprised by mums answer as they played
“Blue-violet ? – who knew ?”

It’s a strange little colour – Indigo
noted for its position on every rainbow in the sky
dye’s that turn your fingers a funny shade of purple – but
if you call it blue, or call it violet – you would be
going completely in the wrong direction, as it has its
own unique spot on the spectrum
