Violet flowers growing all over the place and I know they are edible! I have seen them in food, and decoration on dishes, but true to be told, I haven't eating them.
I found these beautiful with deep purple color violets by the fence, and they was in an area where it was difficult to photograph. I took them home, and set them on the railing of my deck to experiment with texture.
With the same idea, I took a piece of white paper to set them on and offset the color of the deep purple color. I think I like the color of purple on the deck better than the one on the white paper.

They are very beautiful, but I don't recognize them. I only know Violets that bloom early in spring. Can you please find their Latin name so I can look them up? Thank you my Dear. I really like them on the white backround. Stunning shots Icy 🏵💖🏵

Lena, the Latin name is Viola sororia, and in this article: http://joshfecteau.com/foraging-wild-greens-violets/ , the author talked about how to use them in various things.
Back at the old house, I even have the white violets, and lavender color! Here, at the condo, I found this deep purple ones..

Amazing how the background affects the color. I personally like the deck photos because that is more the color I associate with violets. Both are good shots.

Thank you! This was the first time I see violets in this deep purple! I have light color lavender and white ones in the yard at my previous house.

Awesome, my violets are gone and I wish I had remembered to pick some. I was going to use them to color one of my soaps but did not remember in time. Next spring. I will watch for more posts from you.
