Flowers in the botanical garden of Lyon Painting

I paid attention to these flowers during a walk in the botanical garden of Lyon. Long dark burgundy shoots stretched sideways, raising fragrant violet-pink flowers above them. They stood out from the others with their brightness, almost impudence. It's been a year since I first saw them, the small canvas I had was perfect for conveying these small but so charismatic flowers, from the dark depths of the roots and shoots, to the delicate airy purple flowers at the top.
