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).

That’s a pretty portrait of the white violet in its own right.
You mentioned fragrance. Not having detected any from the Missouri violets behind our house, I turned to AI and found that “not all violets have a fragrance. While many are famous for a sweet, powdery scent, a large number of violet species and hybrids have no odor at all. Scent is mostly found in specific species like Viola odorata (sweet violet), while many wild, common types—often called ‘dog violets’—are scentless.”
