Day 453 It's Flower Friday!

Today I have decided to make my alternative flower Violet, my main pic of the day as unusually she let me take a number of shots without running away!  In extras are 'real' flowers, the clematis in the back garden that have just opened this week and are now already drenched in rain as it has poured all day.  Much as the garden needs it, I shall be glad to see the return of warm sunny weather.
Many thanks to BikerBear for her regular hosting of Flower Friday.
