I love these little cool season gems that come out and bloom in the spring and the fall. They really are cute little flowers. They remind me of something out of
Alice in Wonderland. They are easy to grow as well and they reseed. The photo on the right is a 'Helen Mount' Viola that sprouted up as a volunteer.
