Our small patch of violet tulips grew among iris leaves. These purple tulips were white at first, turning violet later in the spring.

Just the fainted hint of lavender could be seen in this close-up shot of violet tulips.

The violet tulips, that were found among our iris plants, were beginning to open. Enough time has passed to reveal their pale violet exterior.
