I luuuuuuurve purple!

Its pretty, just not a favorite

Me too!!

There are many pretty things that are purple

When I was choosing plants for my native garden my main criteria were 1. plants from the local area, 2. preferably blue or purple flowers.

I would choose blue most of the time .

There is a lovey purple native fringed lily. It grows wild round here ~ or @ least it used too...

Those are very pretty even if they are purple

Good evening everyone

Mhari swore @ me just before I shot this.
I must say my girls are pretty tolerant of me but I'm running a broody show just now.

I would choose yelling at me over biting any day!! Our Turkey's are the worst

Well, I've grown them before but they only seem to last a couple of years. I think that they tend to act like semi annuals in cultivation.

The daisies however are thriving and threatening to take over the whole garden!

I have a thing for daisies.

What a good girl! My Salmon Faverolle is still broody, she is very good when I check for any eggs...but, she does talk or maybe grumble at me the whole time!

I have 3 who want to sit just now. So far I have managed to dissuade them.

I bet. Not sure I'd try to take on a full grown turkey.

I haven't tried to hard to dissuade mine, I'm getting plenty of eggs, hopefully she will give up soon!

How is Suyin doing today?

For those who've never seen them, these flowers are Australian Christmas bells.
In their natural environment they only flower well after fire & I haven't seen them growing wild since I was a child.
They are being cultivated commercially so not extinct yet.

She seems to be doing ok. I put her in the small coop @ dusk last night as the ramp is quite steep & she settled right down but she made it down this morning before I got out to her & was foraging as best she could in the little coop but she is so light it's scary & she has no bulk to hold her own against my big girls ~ or even my bantams really.
