Violets in our Yard

Violets (Viola) typically featuring heart-shaped leaves and five-petaled, often fragrant flowers in shades of purple, blue, white, and yellow. Blooming in spring, they are popular low-maintenance perennials and ground cover for shady or partially sunny gardens, thriving in temperate regions (like ours in BC).

Viola canadensis (white violet)

And its three purple sisters

On a whim I added a pine cone companion.
