It has clusters of small purple flowers with white edges, on spray like stems on the end of the branches. It appears to flower from late spring through til the beginning of winter. Bees and butterflies love the flowers. Just now some of the flowers are giving way to small yellow/orange berries. The leaves are green with serrated edges and the trunk is light in colour and fairly smooth. No one I know can identify it and I haven't had any luck on websites.
I am trying to identify an evergreen tree in my yard in Melbourne. It has clusters of small purple flowers.?
I would suggest you take the flower/berries to your local nursery for identification
Here is a site for Aussie trees

I want some beautiful hardy white flowers, pink flowers and purple flowers. I love hycinth but it always seems
to die in Pennsylvania's weather. what are the giant bushes of similar colored flowers called? my great grandmother had huge bushes lining her back yard in pink and purple. so beautiful and smell awesome in spring and summer and she never had to care for them at all. suggestions on the first question too plz?

The bushes you mention are called rose of sharon. They are a relative of the hyacinth.
Some hardy annuals that have the colors you request are petunias, pansies, verbenas, portulacas, and snapdragons.
Some perennials would be columbine, impatiens, dianthus, daisies, astilbes, and coral bells.
Lamiums (sometimes called dead nettle) are groundcovers that flower in white and pink. There are two newer varities that have purple flowers also.
Edit:
Rose of sharon is a relative of the hibiscus, not the hyacinth. I think what you're thinking of is a lilac.
Edit : Reynwater is correct, impatiens is not a perennial. Must have had a brain seizure.
Reply:If I were you I would go to my local plant nursery and ask them. Hyacinth should do really well in your climate, but they are only a spring flowering bulb. You need to have suggestions given to you by someone in your area, based on your soil, sun exposure and the amount of maintenance you care to do.

Reply:try Hydrangea's they come in white ,pink and blue and purple's and can grow very tall but have your sole checked before you plant flowers its in the sole if your flowers change colors
Reply:Hyacinth is a early spring bloomer that only lasts for a short time. They do come back every year though.
Reply:Sage grows in pink and white and red. I've had all three in 110F Southwest Desert weather and they grow BEAUTIFULLY!

What's the name of that plant that's white and fuzzy with red-purple flowers?
I tried google imaging, but I can't seem to find a picture of it. I've seen it around every once in a while here in British Columbia... The stem, leaves, etc are white and sort of fuzzy/velvety (I think it's the fuzz that makes it white), and the flowers are red-purple. They're quite pretty, they've been a favourite of mine for a while.

What purple flowers are good in a wedding bouquet?
The theme for my wedding is a darker purple and I have no idea about flowers.
What purple flowers are good in a wedding bouquet?
Irises, freesia, lilacs...they all smell terrific! Also orchids are gorgeous. You can a lso look for lavender colored roses. They would offset all the deep purple. And Maybe throw in some white mini roses too. Lavendar is good too. These all have amazing scents to them.
Goodluck and CONGRATS!!!
Reply:Lilacs are beautiful and smell wonderful.

Reply:Depends when you are getting married, if it is between know and May, try these flowers:-
Cirsium Vulgae-its a cornflower, bit prickly.
Centaur ea Nigra-Lovely
Aubrieta
Tragopogon Porrifolius.
The above flowers all grow within the British Isles..
Happy Wedding days....
Reply:Iris's look really good with roses.
Reply:Hi
Vanda Orchids look amazing! but there are some lovely choices for this colour theme - roses are perfect for your bouquet. We would suggest Blue Curiosa or Cool Water which have a blue tone (try putting these names into google for these images then you can get an idea of what they look like) - alternatively for a more contemporary look try Calla Lily's Picasso or Purple Haze
For added interest there are lots of flowers in this colour palette to choose from including freesia, agapanthus, hyacinth, veronica, brodia or lisianthus.
If you are organising your flowers try the planning section where there are hints on what flowers you might need and how much they'll cost.

How do I get rid of the little white and purple flowers that taking over my lawn?
Our front lawn is being taken over by these tiny little white and purple flowers. They are not clover or morning glories, rather their petals look like tiny daisy petals. When we mowed they came back with a vengeance! Help!
How do I get rid of the little white and purple flowers that taking over my lawn?
There are broadleaf herbicides that should kil the weed and leave the grass. Look for them at the local homestore.
Reply:"They came back with a vengence" it was because the terminal bud was removed, causing auxilliary buds to sprout making a fuller plant. Could it be henbit? (see link) a great medicinal for cuts, bruises, and scrapes.
http://images.search.yahoo.com/search/im...
They only last a couple of months then die back. Very easy to pull. Or eradicate with weed and feed.
Reply:It sounds like an aster, leave them be or if you must get rid of them pour boiling hot water or vinegar on them instead of chemicals
Reply:why do you want to get rid of them; sounds pretty !
Reply:Hi; important question; do they only bloom in spring? then they are probably anemone blanda, which is a bulb and doesn;t hurt the lawn, since they go dormant in summer. If they bloom all summer too, it's something else.
I'm just curious; why do you want to get rid of them; they sound charming! Are they harming the lawn? You could try taking the leaf and flower to your county extension agent or master gardener,and getting the plant identified; then you'd know what you are dealing with, if it's a noxious weed, and how better to get rid of it, if that's what you choose to do.

I take photos of purple flowers but they turn out blue in the digital photos. What can I do to remedy this?
Flowers include irises and purple hyrdrangeas. Magenta flowers turn out a bright red in my digital photographs too. Do I need to change the camera setting or need to get some kind of filter? All the other colors in the digital photos come out fine.
I take photos of purple flowers but they turn out blue in the digital photos. What can I do to remedy this?
You don't say if the problem is apparent on your monitor or in prints or both.
If the colors are wrong on your monitor, you need to color calibrate it. You can do this with the trial version of Photoshop, if you don't have Photoshop or Photoshop Elements. Use Photoshop Help to read how to do it, then follow the instructions.
Also, be sure you have your system set up to use Adobe RGB 1998 as a color profile, rather than sRFGB. sRGB has more limited colors than Adobe RGB 1998.
If your monitor colors are OK and the problem is in your printouts make sure you are using the same brand of paper as your printer (for example, Canon paper for a Canon printer or Epson paper for an Epson printer). You can use different brands of paper, but you will get the most accurate colors when the brands are the same.
If this doesn't fix the problem contact me via email and I'll walk you through getting your printer profiled so the prints are more accurate. There are commercial services that help you with this without you having to buy a print profile device.

Reply:this is most likely a printer issue and not a camera or photographer (as in you) issue. all printers come with their own built in color management software. this often differs from how your camera may handle colors. what you need to do is set up a 'color profile' that you will use for printing. in photoshop i use adobe rgb 1998. there are many others that you can use specific to your printer and color mode. check your printer documentation to find yours. all printers are different and you may use different color profiles for different situations.
also consider the fact that it may be a limitation of your printer. unless you are using the 'prosumer' level inkjets you may not get the color you desire. i suggest an epson 1800 or above or a comparable canon. i prefer epson just because i'm used to them but canon produces wonderful results as well.
Reply:Change your white balance. You probably hae it on tungsten. If you are outside use the natural or cloudy setting. Or if you camera has the function where you can set a custom white balance, then find a white object near the flower, or use a white piece of paper and use that.
Reply:I am not sure what you are doing . One thing you can try is block the sun light from the flower and use the shade. you should put your camera on a tripod and shoot a slow shutter if your camera will let you. also make sure your monitor is not alittle out of adjustment that will show colors adjusted not on the chip. close is very touchy on color and full object in focus. Slow shutter will get you full focus.
Reply:This is a complex problem that needs to be solved methodically.
Many digital cameras get "confused" when used to photograph subjects that have one or two dominant colors. To begin with you need to determine if the problems is 1) a fault in the camera's image sensor, software or display, 2) an adjustable setting that needs to be changed, 3) a limitation of the camera you are using.
To determine which of these it is purchase or borrow an 18% gray card. This is a tool used by professional photographers and processing services to determine correct exposure and color balance (called "White Balance" on most digital cameras) for a photographic images. Then do this -
1. Using the EXACT SAME LIGHTING as the subject take a picture of the card, get close enough so that only the card is in the picture.
2. View the picture on the camera's viewing screen and compare it side by side with the gray card. If they match closely you can usually eliminate sensor, software %26amp; display problems. If they don't match try viewing the picture on a computer with a CALIBRATED display screen. If the picture are OK or greatly improved chances are the camera display is faulty or inadequate for judging the type of images you are making.
If you do get a good image of the grey card then your problem is almost certainly an issue of settings on your camera. Most likely the white balance. If your camera allows you to set the white balance manually you will probably need to adjust it that way to get satisfactory images.
Here are a couple of sites that can help you figure out the proper white balance settings. -

Reply:I have been having the same problem with photoshop, but my Blue looks purple. If i change it to immage ready it looks blue again. I have only been having this problem since i have installed my Epson printer. I reset Photoshop by pressing Shift,+ Alt + Cntrl when starting photoshop, but i am still having the same problem.
It leads me to belive that it is a printer conflict with the software.
If you are having this issue, try clicking the switch to Image ready and see if the color changes to the real color of the photo. Ryball
Reply:This is a problem I have with my Olympus Evolt 500. But... get one printed. The color will be fine. I don't know why but certain hues of purple will look blue one a computer screen or even an LCD monitor (even to the naked eye). But it will be fine after it's been developed, you'll see. It's been suggested that Earth's sky is actually a shade of lavender but our eyes see it as blue. Funny huh?
Reply:Flowers are always tough. Because their coloration is complex, we do not see all the colors that are actually being reflected back. Insects "see" what is necessary to attract them to the flower so pollination is successful.
Some films and most sensors "see" this additional information and record it, thus giving your images a color you did not see.
You may want to try having the image files printed at a photo lab and see if indeed there is a problem with your printer, but I suspect if all of your other images are color correct, then the lab color will not be too much different from what you already have experienced.
In some cases using a polarizing filter can help.

I have only been having this problem since i have installed my Epson printer. I reset Photoshop by pressing Shift,+ Alt + Cntrl when starting photoshop, but i am still having the same problem.
It leads me to belive that it is a printer conflict with the software.
If you are having this issue, try clicking the switch to Image ready and see if the color changes to the real color of the photo. Ryball
Reply:This is a problem I have with my Olympus Evolt 500. But... get one printed. The color will be fine. I don't know why but certain hues of purple will look blue one a computer screen or even an LCD monitor (even to the naked eye). But it will be fine after it's been developed, you'll see. It's been suggested that Earth's sky is actually a shade of lavender but our eyes see it as blue. Funny huh?
Reply:Flowers are always tough. Because their coloration is complex, we do not see all the colors that are actually being reflected back. Insects "see" what is necessary to attract them to the flower so pollination is successful.
Some films and most sensors "see" this additional information and record it, thus giving your images a color you did not see.
You may want to try having the image files printed at a photo lab and see if indeed there is a problem with your printer, but I suspect if all of your other images are color correct, then the lab color will not be too much different from what you already have experienced.
In some cases using a polarizing filter can help.

Any ideas on what type of yellow and/or purple flowers would be nice to fill a flowerbed with in Kentucky?
I have a flowerbed that wraps around the majority of my house. We plan to plant it full of flowers in a few weeks. We are curious to know what type of nice purple and/or yellow flowers would thrive in Kentucky this time of year.
Any ideas on what type of yellow and/or purple flowers would be nice to fill a flowerbed with in Kentucky?
Coreopsis and galardia would be good yellow flowers. Cosmos are great and come in both yellow and purple. Small, branch sunflowers always look bright and cheerful in a garden. There is also a plant called a Red Hot poker which goes from yellow to red. Nasturtiums stay clase to the ground, can be toally yellow or a variey and the leaves are quite attractive. For ground cover, yellow creeping sedum is a wonderful plant. For purple, balloon flowers are quite pretty as are New england asters (will bloom in fall) You cant beat good old fashioned purple irises. Canterbury bells also come in shades of purple. There are also some wonderful columbines that you can grow that are huge and are totally purple. Most of these plants can be put in as soon as danger of frost is over. You can also put in pansies, ageratum, johnny jumpups, and crystal palace lobelia. These stay low to the ground. Snapdragons come in any size and any color and will bloom all summer.
Reply:right now.. pansies. the garden centers are full of them. They will do fine until it starts getting hot. You can get both colors in different varieties.. all purple, all yellow, and combinations of purple with yellow and yellow with purple eyes.. I have these in my beds right now.
After that, I'd look at grape cooler vinca and coreopsis moonbeam. The corepsis is a perennial and will come back next year. Plant them where you'd want them to come back next year. Vinca is an annual and you'll need to replant. If you want two perennials, look at perennial salvia.. nice purple color and interesting flower shape.
With flowers, bear in mind that few flowers last all season.. Vinca tends to be a long term bloomer, but a lot of the others don't.
Reply:This time of year????? Your problem is your frost date. If you are still having frosts until mid April, then the frost sensitive plants won't work.
Then your problem is it takes a few weeks for plants to become established and start blooming.........but they won't peak for at least a month or so.
If you truly mean........a few weeks, get thee to the garden center and buy up as many full flowering or nearly full flowering pansy flats. Plant them close together.....like nearly touching, in clusters through the garden. Also look for already flowering anythings and do the same..... snap dragons are another thought.
Gardens take a long time to come together, they are hard to throw together with only a few weeks notice.....especially in this early season.
Reply:Pansies, lavander, marigolds, and lilies for starters.

What are the trees with purple flowers in southern california?
I was in LA area (Fullerton/Anaheim maybe?) many years ago and I can't remember the name of some flowering trees I saw there.
I tthink it was early summer but I'm not totally sure of the season, and these trees were all in bloom with pretty purple flowers. They seemed to grow pretty large, they definitely weren't bushes or anything, but normal sized trees.
Does anyone have an idea of what the trees could have been? They seemed to be pretty common. Thanks!

My bet is Jacaranda... Covered with purple flowers before the leaves come out. Much more dramatic than the other trees (Crape Myrtle etc) Gorgeous trees but cause a major mess when they drop those masses of sticky blooms.
Wikepedia has a good picture.
Reply:Perhaps they were Princess Trees (Royal Paulonia). Click on the link below to see pictures of young trees and a closeup of the flower. There is also detail on growing the tree.
Reply:Jacaranda is a very popular tree here in So. Calif. They look beautiful in the spring when there are so many of them in bloom. The rest of the year their feathery leaves look like ferns.
Reply:They were probably Jacaranda, a tree originally from South Africa, but grown in other places like CA and New Zealand. It's early summer here in NZ, and they're flowering. We had one in our backyard in LA where I grew up too.
Reply:I think you're thinking of Cercis canadensis (Eastern Redbud).
Reply:YUMA CRAPE MYRTLE TREE LAVENDER CRAPE MYRTLE TREE!
They also come in a Reddish Pink! Usually start blooming April/May into JUNE. I can't think of the 'more common, streetname', sorry.
Reply:Could be either one of two kinds of trees. It could be a Crepe Myrtle, or a Jackaranda . They both have purple blossoms and are quite beautiful. Try this link:

Purple flowers?
anybody have any purple flowers that can also be used as names? and is there such thing as a purple lily?
Purple flowers?
There is a PURPLE:
Iris, Lily, Orchid, Daisy, Lilac, Rose, Sage, Heather, Freesia, Laurel, Chrysanthemum (Chryssy)
Good Luck!!

Reply:Iris is a purple flower and a name.
There is a purple lily too...can get purple calla lilies and the normal type too...
Reply:There's a purple "Stargazer" Asiatic lily but naming a child Stargazer would be something only Grace Slick, Frank Zappa or "Moonypie" could pull off. I guess you could shorten it to "Star".
