My tibouchina (Princess flower) has been in bloom since October, but i hadnt taken pictures. I took these this morning, some of them are kind of blurry but they are an attemp at capturing the vivid purple color. The actual color is different than what is shown here. Also, these are not photoshopped (in other words, i have not adjusted the color levels on my computer). enjoy.
