Mum and my cousin both called the viola's 'Phyllis' weeds' -- Phyllis was mum's sister, and my cousin's mother, and Phyllis loved her violas. Phyllis passed over 20 years ago and mum cared for her violas up until the time she went. <br /><br />Thank you for the encouragement :)Justine Cranehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16224192086918363871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19154645.post-72065090005782618272016-01-16T14:48:53.267-08:002016-01-16T14:48:53.267-08:00Hi Justine,

Perhaps thoughts of violas and related pensees (can't recall how to do accents!) may be trying to remind you of this? <br />With so many varieties, all lovely, prolific self-seeding flowers, it could be well worth treating yourself to a few new plants from the viola family.<br />Good luck with your plans: they'll get going soon enough, I'm sure.<br />cheerio,<br />Anna in Edinburgh<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
