Russell's eustoma, also called Russell's prairie-gentian, Eustoma grandiflorum , Comanche County, Kansas.
"They are so delightful to find - especially this time of the year when it is dry and everything looks pretty stressed." There is also pics on this website, alot of pretty flowers in Kansas I hope this is the one and if not i hope you find it.

Recently drove across Kansas; saw areas of planted (?) purple flowers? Identity?
Could be anything but probably Lupins which seem to grow wild everywhere in the lower 48 states.

Purple carrots?edible flowers?
I planted purple carrots are they healthier then the orange kind?Are edible flowers healthy?
Purple carrots?edible flowers?
Purple carrots contain anthocyanins, pigments that act as powerful antioxidants, grabbing and holding on to harmful free radicals in the body. Anthocyanins also help prevent heart disease by slowing blood clotting.
Surprisingly, purple and yellow carrots were grown and eaten as long ago as 900 AD in Afghanistan. People began cultivating orange carrots only about 400 years ago, and most of the world eats them today.
Edible flowers contain vitamin C as well as vitamin A
and many of the pigmentation substances such as beta carotene. Here is a great site that lists the nutritional values for various edible flowers:

I bought a flower that look like the purple flower on windows desktop. What is it's name?
The flowers bloom the same but have whitish on the flower and when I bought it the florist had different colors available.(Blue %26amp; Pink)

This is the desktop image you mean I hope.

Otherwise it won't make much sense when I say it could be a purple cyclamen viewed from the front.
Reply:Frangipani. Is is pink or purple like the one on the link
Reply:I think you are talking about Lotus flower(Nelumbo nucifera).

If you want to know the genotype of a pea plant that has purple flowers, which would you perform?
a. dihybrid cross
b. genetic linkage
c. Punnett square
d. testcross

d. testcross
A testcross is a cross of an unknown with a known genotype of homozygous recessive for each gene being studied so that the inheritance of the unknown can be determined from the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring.
Reply:d. testcross
Cross it with a pea plant that is expressing the recessive flower color (white). If any of the offspring have white flowers, then your purple-flowered plant was heterozygous for its flower color trait.

Why does my Rose of Sharon have two(2) different colored flowers?
I have 3 or 4 very old Rose of Sharon Bushes(maybe 15 years old) I planted from sprouts. I have a "purple" flower Rose of Sharon bush and a "white" flower rose of Sharon bush and between the two is a bush that has "purple" and "white" flowers. The bush was never grafted. It has only one "trunk"; each limb on the bush has it's own individual color.......either all purple or all white but they are all on the same bush. I have heard of flowers changing colors but I have never heard of a bush having two different colored flowers on it without something being done to it and this bush has had nothing done to it to cause this.
Why does my Rose of Sharon have two(2) different colored flowers?
Rose of sharon (Hibiscus), beautiful flowers! The state flower of Hawaii. When they drop their seeds, they grow very easily, and 1 seed from each plant hit the same spot. It looks like 1 plant, but i guarentee it's actually 2 just roots are wrapped real tiight.
Reply:has it always been like this?its possible that it was pollinated by both trees.where did you get the sprouts?if bought from a nursery they may have beendone there.that is odd.enjoy the oddity.

I have a lilac tree that has deep purple flowers, but last year 1/3 of the tree also blooms white flowers.?
Someone told me to trim the white lilac flowers after it bloomed and then next year the whole lilac tree will bloom all deep purple flowers. This year, the tree seems to be blooming even more white flowers! How do I get the whole tree to bloom all purple flowers, as it should? It looks funny with some deep purple and some white. In past years, it was all deep purple. I have mulched it and put lyme to keep less acidic. Help?!
I have a lilac tree that has deep purple flowers, but last year 1/3 of the tree also blooms white flowers.?
It is because it has heterogeneous genes.
Sometimes it will bloom white, and sometime purple, because of the parents.
Reply:Is it possible that your tree was grafted? I have seen other trees that were grafted have some of the graft traits %26amp; some origional. If so and the origional was white, you would have to trim everything off below the graft.
I don't think two colors of flowers look funny. If it is viney, I would wind the t colors of branches together so I had a little of both colors all over. Right now I am dealing with a hybrid rose bush that has yellow, pink, and yellow with pink tips on the blooms of the same bush, in varying digrees of color saturation. Strange, but I love it.
Reply:If the white flowers repulse you, cut back those branches - not just the flowers (or mark them and trim later). It would be best to cut them late summer or fall so that you remove next year's white flower buds that form this season. It is possible you have 2 different plants growing together or it was grafted to have 2 colors on one plant. I don't think acidity affects lilac color (as it does hydrangea).
Reply:I believe that you have a tree that is a result of splicing. This is done in the effort to create new species.
Do not mess with the soil! Lilac are not affected by the acidity of the soil. They actually tend to like undernourished soil.
Now if you try to cut off the white flowers you run a risk that the shock could kill the lilac. Personally i would leave it alone. If you want a pure purple lilac buy and new one and ask if it is on it's own stock.
The following web site has lots of information.
Reply:In the begining of blooming they are deep colored as time goes on the blooms get lighter and lighter in color.
Mine started out deep purple too but then started turning lighter as the buds were getting older. Then they started turning brown and died off.
Is this what could be happening with your lilac bush?
Reply:I am learning something like this in biology at the min!
Its to do with the genes!
The tree must be heterzygous.(two types of allele) This means it can produce 2 colours.
For the tree to produce all the same coulour it must be homozygous.(one type of allele)
The make a homozygous tree(all purple) you must cross fertilise two homozygous.
This prob sounds confusin but i hope it helps:D

Try botany instead of zoology
