A Good Solid Purple

And that's about all I have to say about it.

Sally Hanson Salon - Night Hydrangea.


















Can you dig the soft focus? That's how stinking humid it is today, my camera lens is fogged! I should take my portrait.

This is a hydrangea.

A flowering shrub. Blooms range from reddish purple to blue to violet. It blooms all summer.












People use these in fresh or dry flower arrangements. They get darker as fall gets closer. The reddish ones turn a pretty wine color. I used to have one of these in my yard where I moved from.

I thought the "night" part might be a certain kind of hydrangea, but no, I guess it's just the color of one at night.

This is about three or four coats.


















It has a bit of a grainy texture and some fine glitteriness in direct sun. Kind of nothing special, yet I wore it for three days. It's a very fine shade of purple.
