Description
Once again, I don't know what these flowers are called, but I like them, and hope you do too. Chip's extensive knowledge of all things botanical leads me to believe that the technical name of this species is: "purple."
Photographed in the garden of the Art Institute of Chicago on August 21, 2010.
A happy Mother's Day to all.

Lovely Petunias.....this color has always been my favorite!

What a bunch of purple things! Ah, Petunias...I've heard of those, I thought they were just some singer whose last name was Clark. WOW...the things you learn. The colors are really nice, and the business in the middles of each blossom is really fun to look at. Purple and Gold were the colors used by my high school, and I'm dating myself, but one of the homecoming slogans for that particular high school was "Purple Reign" which...well...it was high school, what do you expect!? This is a great shot.

Great lighting and colors! Superb capture :)

Purple is quite the colour. Violas grow like weeds where I live, I never get tired of seeing them against the green grass background. Nice who you obtained that intense blue aura around the edges. And again, purple against green, very nice. I'll bet they smell lovely too.

Yes ... petunias. :) They're quite lovely, and they ARE purple ... there's no denying it! Chip is often corrected albeit a bit skewed from time to time. Gorgeous floral!

by the size and number of blooms, I would guess they might be Mexican petunias. They grow like weeds and bloom proficiently. Outstanding shot.

Purple pertunias, as so many people have told you already--one of my faves. I plant them every year, even though the ^&$^$% snails and slugs think they're dessert!!
