Several years ago, I bought a little four-inch pot of violas at the nursery. Of the plethora of colors they had that day, this one just drew me in like a magnet. I was enchanted.
Well, that one little plant has re-seeded itself every single year since. So not only is it beautiful, it is tenacious and hardy. A wonderful quality in any plant when you are a hopelessly committed gardener.
I have taken a lot of photos of this little beauty over the years. Here they are today, exuding happy making charm...
Let summer begin.
