Violet's Victory [Violets]
Uploaded: June 25, 2008 05:30:15
Amazes me every year that my little violets push their way into my garden to show their happy little faces without any help from me.
“The splendor of the rose and the whitness of the lily do not rob the little violet of it’s scent nor the daisy of its simple charm. If every tiny flower wanted to be a rose, spring would lose its lovliness.” ~Emogirl Therese of Lisieux

Melissa- Good evening my friend. Again the quote is full of wisdom. For me the smaller the flower the more beauty I see in it. As a Photographer and as a gardener, I love flowers that are very small in blossoms. My favorites.Nancyj E. Hovey June 26, 2008

I love these viola's too Melissa. They volunteer all over my lawn and actually get bigger and stronger when mowed down occasionally. Good DOF and the white background compliments the viola’s nicely. #6154267Melissa Olsen July 08, 2008
