Violet (Viola odorata)
Violet (Viola odorata)
Once the violets appear you know it's spring.
A delightful wildflower and native of our woodlands the violet
makes good groundcover in the shade throughout the year.
It has tasty and beautiful flowers in the early spring, which along with the leaves make a good edition to early salads.
Violets
can also be preserved with egg white and sugar to decorate cakes,or making your own old fashioned perfume!
