Purple Haze

“Excuse me while I kiss the sky,” Jimi Hendrix might have sung as he watched a fog bank drop a purple haze over Sea Ranch on the Sonoma Coast this past week.

With such a color, Hendrix would have continued, “things just don’t seem the same,” though they are, Parrish Todd reported. 

In Todd’s Sea Ranch garden, purple/burgundy loropetalum, chartreuse golden breath of heaven and orangy oakleaf hydrangea lend their exotic fall colors to the scene.
