Lilac trees or shrubs are beautiful. I miss my garden but I had several lilacs in it and I loved them all. I hope to have some again someday soon. Another shrub with beautiful purple flowers is the butterfly bush. You would love that one too as it gets lots of butterflies visiting it.
I work in the most beautiful city in the world..Pretoria, capital of South Africa. Do yourself a favour and Google "Jacaranda city" and pig out on the images. The trees are not native but when they flower are so spectacular its amazing with a carpet above and a carpet below as the petals fall off.
Jacaranda trees are beautiful! My mother lived in what was then called Rhodesia when she was a little girl and she remembers jacaranda trees. I have seen them growing in California too.
In the Biblical days, i don't think that the kings and queens dealt with dye's, they dealt with silk and hand crafting, I just remember reading in the old testament that purple was a royal color.
No the kings and queens didn't do the dying, but they bought fabrics that were dyed and the fabrics that were dyed purple were more expensive and therefore rare. This made them suitable for royalty.
