April is the month that the wild violets or violas start blooming. These are Viola adunca, known as early blue violets or hookedspur violets. As with all violas, the leaves are delicious. The roots, fruits, and seeds should not be eaten, though. Still, this pretty little edible plant also has medicinal properties.
It is found from lowlands to the mountains and blooms all summer.
I do too. It gives splashes of blue everywhere.
Ah my color! I have always loved violets, and the wild ones are the best kind.
I feel the same way. I purposely planted some at the church last year and I’m going to need to dig a lot of them up this year for transplanting. One plant had about 70 offspring and I’m not exaggerating.
Oh how wonderful! Spread the love ~~~
