The flowers are actually the white or cream color, trumpet-like, small and inconspicuous things surrounded by the bracts. Each cluster of three flowers has three large bracts surrounding them.
…the bracts are thin and papery, that is why the name “paper flower” .

So well photographed. Your macros are beautiful
Hiya Paula,
Good to be reminded so beautifully of the fact that what we see isn't what we think it is: not a purple flower but a yellow one ( In a purple cloak).
I love these....we have several of them around our front yard garden and in the back yard!!
