Sunshine Challenge Post #7

Three things which are violet or purple:

1.  Some of the flowers in our back garden

A small buddleia, a very determined verbena and some of the pansies.  The clematis flowered in the spring.  Plus what I think may be a bellflower which has self-seeded.


2.  Lavender

I dislike the plant - the smell makes me cough.  (Not as bad as lillies though).  But although Eeyore was a grey donkey, he's often shown as being lavender, and the daughter was (and still is) a great fan of Eeyore, so that's a plus!


3.  A significant number of female characters in Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories

Because clearly Doyle had the same problem we all do in finding suitable character names.  James, perhaps?

And on that note the Sunshine Challenge is encouraging participants to offer gifts.  So, if anyone (long-time reader or new arrival) would like a drabble, drop me a reply in the comments  (I'm Small_Hobbit on AO3).
