I photographed this viola last winter in the little garden above my "outdoor office" at the top right of the staircase.Soon after Phil and I moved into the house, we bought several violas to spruce up the muddy hillside we found ourselves staring at once we'd torn out the Scotch broom, strangle vine and blackberry covering the backyard.
We were happy to discover the violas readily reseed themselves and even crossbreed with one another to produce wonderful variations of the plants we've purchased once or twice a year from local nurseries.
