Delicate Purple One flower open, one still closed tight in pink. The hairy green sepals and the way the stamens push forward suggest this is viper's bugloss or something close to it, a plant that regularly goes unnoticed until you get right down to it.

One flower open, one still closed tight in pink. The hairy green sepals and the way the stamens push forward suggest this is viper's bugloss or something close to it, a plant that regularly goes unnoticed until you get right down to it. The deep violet petals sit clean against a soft green background, the whole thing sharp where it counts and gone to blur where it doesn't.
