The viola is such a dainty over-looked flower that some would consider it unworthy of comment.
Most years I set out several about this time. Usually they are on the sale rack at about 25 cents for a six-pack.
They bloom late into winter and return even prettier in the spring, continuing to bloom until well into the summer. They have a blooming season similar to pansies and snapdragons.
The flower book calls them a biennial trying to be a perennial. The fall leaves will soon almost cover the litlle row of violas shown below.
