On 4 March last year my IAVOM post featured wild violets. They are blooming a few weeks later this year, but as lovely as ever, of course!
The little troopers that grow alongside the main railway line to London are also enlivening the road verge, and out of reach there is a lovely patch right next to the track.
And do they smell? Oh yes. Fragrant as can be!
Absolutely perfect - thank you, really made me smile!
ReplyDeleteThat's good! We all need a good smiling start to our new week in a weird world! A
DeleteOh, so lovely. Love the vases you chose to highlight the violets. Have a good week and take care.
ReplyDeleteThank you Susie. Stay safe and well, and have a good week too. A
DeleteOoh, there's your lovely little violet vase again - so sweet! ps I could only comment via Google today...no other option to sign in
ReplyDeleteThanks Cathy. I had tweaked the settings to see if it was possible for someone to comment without registering - something I don't understand - but I have changed the setting back again, so if you wouldn't mind having another look and see if I have got it right, I would be really grateful if you could drop me a word or two!! Many thanks indeed. A
DeleteThere is nothing like the fragrance, is there. So sweet and they are a delight in these tiny vases.
ReplyDeleteThe violets are just such a sweet joy! Did you see one of the Instagram regulars showed a lovely spread of white violets the other day? Sadly I haven't seen white violets growing wild since I moved to Scotland 25 years ago. A
DeleteSimply lovely! Best wishes Amanda.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kris. As time goes by in these weird and fearful times, flowers never fail to delight! Stay safe and well. Best wishes A
DeleteThere is nothing quite like that lovely blue...but I must have missed out on the right scent receptors. I know what you mean about finding little gems growing wild. I found a large area of wild white violets just over my garden wall: https://noellemace.blogspot.com/2020/03/loved-to-bits-on-mothers-day.html
