{Our Wild Violets}

Our Wild Violets are such lovely flowers in the wood garden!
Some call them Weed Violets... But are they not LOVELY?
Hard to photograph...
Yep, getting FACE TO FACE...
Such a lovely pastel tone for the spring...
Like a bearded, hairy edge...
Are they not pretty in a tiny silver vase?

  7. Le violette sono fiori delicati tanto quanto deliziosi. Il loro profumo poi sembra quello delle fate. Bellissime le tue che, sicuramente, hanno donato una cornice stupenda alla tua bellissima casa. Un abbraccio. Paola

  9. Dearest Mariette,
    Your violets are lovely. There is something charming about these little flowers showing their bright colors for spring.
    I am amused to see your post as I have been looking out at the various early violets and thinking I should do a post about them. Great minds and all that!
    Enjoy your day.........xox....*s*

  10. They look perfect in silver. Violets are so special because of their fragrance. Also because it takes ages to pick a big bunch.
    Hugs Kay

  12. Dearest Mariette!
    I am just back from reading your previous posts about violets. They are so beautiful little flowers!!!!
    I was happy to be sent some violet roots from a blog-friend in northern Greece last year, and I planted them in a pot. They are now about to flower and I am so excited about this! I guess I will have to re-plant them in the garden as I was told they are spreading in the semi-shade under the trees. I hope that by next year they will have multiply and I will also be able to cut some flowers and put them in a small vase. By the way, your small silver vases are so lovely, as are the china sets,the spoons and the tray of your older posts!
    Many hugs, dear friend and enjoy your lovely flowers!

    Irmi
