The Blue Moon has quite a strong sweet scent LG, the flowers are a little bit heavy for the stems at the moment though  I always despair that the camera never seems to capture the richness of deep purple / blues - I have noted that lower light levels give a better result though LG, so try taking them when the sun has gone down a bit and see if that makes any difference with your camera. I've noticed the same thing tig. I've been wondering if it's a matter of how we/our eyes "see/interpret" purple, as against the camera which is dealing with it in a purely "technical" and perhaps more realistic/accurate way. Although sometimes, for no reason I could explain, a really nice "true-purple" shot comes out. I'll try that low-light approach a few times to see how it works out. |

This is a Early Purple Orchid I had the pleasure to photograph in the New Forest to day You are very lucky to find such a scarce Orchid scarecrow. Orchids are my favourite plant. Did you find any others ?. Voted |

What a gorgeous little orchid. My parents have one similar growing near their pond. Detail of Petit Faucon (I adore these flowers: the purple is divine and the petals curl so prettily):  And a close up of Fond Memories, just because I love the purple stamens  |

 canterbury bells are doing well this year in my garden, I had better pull some before they seed or they will take over the bed. |

Mine failed to self-seed Barbara, so I have had to sow some more this year! These did better on that front .. self-seeded clary, the deep purple  This is a view of the back of clematis Fond Memories (it looks great from all angles  )  And my first flower on Passiflora x belotii 'Empress Eugenie' with a scent that smells like 'Refreshers' ;D  x Tig |

No LG - it's not in a container but I see no reason why it couldn't be although it does grow to 3 m.
The name is Clem. Viticella "Walenburg".
