Thanks, my camera usually doesn't do justice to purples. This one it got just right. (I'm sure it is user error rather than the camera...)

Thanks! I am used to seeing these in white or maybe lavender. I found these just stunning.

No, I only go that area to visit the Military cemetery. I should take a trip to see the gardens while I am in that area.
