Spring violets

[ecar3483]

 I didn't so much buy a house as inherit a garden.

The "I'll grow anywhere, given an opportunity", purple.

The slightly more sedate white, which, on the whole, prefers sheltered spots

And the pink, which grows in one place only and lends me to believe that when it comes to successful transplanting, I don't have a green thumb,.

The smell of violets always takes me back to my childhood - my Mum had them growing along the edges of many of her flowering garden beds, especially the shaded ones.

I don't have any here - yet!

Garden centres should have them about now. They're in bloom so they make a nice visual display to catch the eye, and the wallet, of passing shoppers.
