Purple Flowers

Purple flowers in a garden planting outside the Agricultural Science and Industries Building. I should know what they are but my flower experience is limited solely to appreciation...

Great shot! I think they are purple salvia.

Thank you. They were attractive plants and you are exactly right -- purple salvia.

Thank you for asking about the name of this flower. I saw this beautiful purple flower surrounding a mailbox near my home this spring and had to take a picture of it for myself and the internet. It sounds like you have an interesting job and knowledgeable about photography. I got serious about photography a year ago and bought an SLR camera. I am hoping to upgrade, would you recommend a full frame camera?
