I don't have any purple flowers at the moment so here are a couple of purple-ish plants.
Echeveria 'Perle von Nurmberg'
and another Echeveria, a real cabbage with purple tints, 'Princess Lace'
I'm hoping for more later in the month

Almost everything I think is purple turns out to be magenta according to my books. Finally found this flower described as having red-purple stripes...

Echinocereus reichenbachii v. bayleyi.
Interested in cacti (particularly Echinopsis, Rebutia, Sulcorebutia, Lobivia, Gymnos and Chamaelobivia), Stapeliads, Sempervivums, and anything else that takes my fancy.
