Birthday party & curious question time

Hello to all

Sonya from the land downunder here
 
Well it's 24 on the temp scale on 76 on your scale & it is 11pm at night so
to those that are in the cold grip of winter it is too hot to sleep here so
a surfing I will go. . . . 

Okay hopefully I will be on line for the chat room I'm trying to work out
the time differences . . . .& day differences . . . . 

Now for the Question  Okay it might seem rather odd but this has been
bugging me for a while you know the type of thing I mean well ......
The type that occur to you in the middle of the night when you really
should be asleep
Here goes nothing 

How come when I see an iris bloom that to me & most people it is Purple yes
vivid purple & it's description is that it is a Blue ????

Okay I know it has a logical explanation
SSoooo can someone out there please explain to this newbie.  
I got rather confused when purchasing my first iris by mail order that the
"blue" iris 's I ordered flowered "purple".

Oh yes if the sig file is missing blame me as I have just upgraded my
computer & am still finding my way around the blessed thing
