The common violet is one of my favorite spring flowers. It's fragrant, pretty, tough and prolific. What's not to love? This particularly sturdy violet pushed its way through a layer of sand deposited a couple weeks ago when the creek overran its banks and flooded the crossing we use to access the back fields. A few other plants dot the mud and sand there, but none that are half so beautiful

Stop the Violets!
Oh, nevermind.
I like them too, but so many people consider them weeds! Most of the ones around here are not fragrant, sadly...
