I thought I wouldn’t be able to post this month as imperial purple or even a pale lavender, are colours that only occur in my flower pictures. Then I found a definite, imperial purple dressed doll in my Japanese folder, and at the same time, I noticed a recently acquired set of plastic drawers in my utility room. So, here they are:
Of course, now that I’ve got two purple images I feel I can add the flowers.

Loving the contrast between the regal looking dolls and the utilitarian drawers! All good purples though.

Can’t beat a bit of plastic to lower the tone!

I love those Japanese dolls! And I’m pretty sure your second flower is a vinca. Ours have variegated leaves but the flowers look the same.

The consensus is that it’s a vinca so that will do for me. Thanks for liking. I’m still not getting an email when you publish so if I miss any, it’s not for lack of reading it’s lack of information. I try to catch them and eventually manage it, I think.

I post a lot so I don’t expect anyone to read all of them! Just choose a few you fancy and ignore the rest 😆

The doll is quite regal but the mass of pansies is my favourite Mari 🙂
You could use image search to find out the flower. I have been doing that for lots of things lately. The only downside is that it tends to give US results more than the rest of the world

Well done Mari – isn’t it amazing what we find when we actually go looking…. the dolls are gorgeous.

I was pushed into this by your examples! The dolls I’ve blogged about but I’d forgotten them until I was going through the Japan folder, and hey presto! a purple kimono.
