Saskatchewan Sky. (Ok, it's not garden-y. I'll think some more...)
I suggest Monet's Garden!
Julie Ann H. from Ontario
Hmm, I like "Lunaria". (otherwise known as money plant/bush.) It grows different shades of purple flowers, but it's seeds are little discs of silvery white that reflect different colours from surrounding plants. so depending on the light, the seeds can look like different colours.

Leanne P from Ontario and my suggestion is Morning Waterlilies. I am reminded of Monet's waterlily studies. :)
Azalia Sky.
I see all the different colors of Azalias and the color of the sky, so Azalia Sky is my entry :)
Hi Julie,
When you suggested something garden or flower related I immediately though of two things . . . (1) famous English gardens such as, Kew, Chelsea, Chartwell, Chatsworth, Sissinghurst, Bateman's, Clovelly, Eden, Prior Park, The Secret Gardens of Sandwich and Walmer Castle Gardens (I've visited most of them) . . . . and (2) David Austin roses such as, Queen of Sweden, Harlow Carr, Gertrude Jekyll, Lady Emma Hamilton, Winchester Cathedral and Malvern Hills.
These names are not 'creative', but they may spark a memory or two with some knitters.
So, that is my contest entry.

I know you were looking for a flowery name for this colour combination, but you seem to have enjoyed everything about this project so much so that I would call it "Julie's Joy".
Thanks for sharing your knitting life with us!

i'm not sure if you got my other posts...I wasn't sure how to do it - My first suggestion was 'Stormy Weather or Stormy Weekend'... since you where away when we got hit by the storm!
Also, another suggestion was 'Sweet Caroline or Sweet Carolina' .... as this is when you where in your place in the Carolina's... and to Neil Diamond, who I'm sure would agree that the shawl looks so 'Sweet'!!! Catherine Kanak
Names that are historical for the wrap/colour...
'The Meadowlands'...or... 'The Ancaster Wrap'...or...'The Rousseaux Wrap'...or...'The Wilson Wrap'... that's all I've got now...Catherine Kanak
Just read Garden/Flower message, so...Hydrangea Dreams.
I tried to leave a comment on the blog but it wouldn't let me for some reason? I've chosen Azalea Sky, because the different shades of azaleas run through it with the blues. Azalea Sky is my entry.

I would like to enter "Larkspur Garden" as my name for the contest

This beautiful combination of colours reminds me of the Lilac Dell at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Hamilton. The deep pinks and purples of the lilac blooms, the green of the foliage and the blues of a cloudless sky are represented in colours selected. I would like to suggest "The Lilac Dell" as the name. Thanks
Not flowery, but I like "Wrapped in a Rainbow"

How about "English Country Garden". The colours remind me of this. My name is: Linda S and I live in Ontario
The colours remind me of the lupins that grow wild around the highway up north, so I suggest "Lupin". :)

Here is my favourite idea for a name for your lovely wrap. How about "Royal Botanical Garden". This honours a special place, the near to Ancaster Royal Botanical Gardens and the recent Royal birth of Prince George.
