Purple Recurrences

 My late mother's favorite color was purple, and she was very fond of wearing purple clothes. The last conversation I had with my late sister (occurring quite a few years ago) was one involving the paranormal and a purple flower. I asked my sister whether she had ever experienced something paranormal or something she could not explain. She told me she had some experience involving purple flowers she could not explain. It seems that after my mother's death there were some purple flowers that had appeared  unexpectedly in my sister's garden, and that one of the flowers survived very much longer than expected.

The backyard of the house where I live is pure concrete. At one of its edges is a thin strip of dirt that seems to offer no encouragement for any natural plant growth (we never water it or put fertilizer there). From that thin strip I have seen over the past few years quite a few purple flowers arising, in a way that surprised me. You can see quite a few of them in my post here. One of the purple flowers shown in that post was an amaranth plant, which since ancient times has been a symbol of immortality. Below is the latest of the purple flowers to appear. They seem to be begonias.


Postscript
: Below is the latest bunch of these purple flowers, and not shown are a whole other bunch of similar-looking purple planets near them.

Post-postscript: Below are purple flowers or plants at the same spot.

On September 18, 2025 there was the bunch of purple flowers shown below, besides some patches of flowers looking like the ones above. 



A photo on September 29, 2025 shows a rather dramatic profusion of purple from this tiny strip on the side of my backyard.
