One of
the harbingers of spring is the violet. Found in shades of purple
and yellow they enliven the garden. They make me stop and sigh at
their delicate blossoms.
The
purple one has found it's way from a heritage property in town where
I was the gardener for a few years. Imagine that! It made its way
here all by its self.
The
yellow violet surprised me last year for it found itself here without
ahem encouragement or a basket of seedlings. I swear!
This
year the wonderful yellow has spread its sunshine all through out the
front lawn. That's another reason for not mowing and one I shall use
on the neighbours when they complain about the meadow ;)
Better a meadow than a desert of a lawn m'dear.
ReplyDeleteExactly John! Bugger the neighbours is me creed ;)
DeleteI love violets!
ReplyDeleteMe too Michelle. The purples take over the garden in spring and that's right by me.
