White and Blue Violets
My friend gave me a bunch of chive to grow, and among the chive there were these beautiful white violets, with a touch of blue in the middle. I have purple violets all over the yard, but I have not seen violets in these colors before.
I extracted the violets from the chive's root hoping to grow these violets along the fencing of my yard, and so far they are wilting. I am not sure if the root will catch or grow. I like them, because they are different.
Have you seen these colors of violet before? I was very happy to spot this flower, and hopefully it will grow here in my yard. If not, I'm going to ask for some from my friend's yard.

Oh I so need to plant some of those. I have Chive, but no Violets.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen this colour before. I know I would've tried to grow it, if I had. It's so precious. I wonder if the colour will reproduce, or it has to have a particular type of soil to show up this vivid blue.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Happy Blue Monday.
ReplyDeleteSo delicate and pretty!:)
ReplyDeleteIcy, I have seen these before and the coloring is so unique. You've captured a beauty there, indeed. Just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI've never tried to grow violets. I suspect it's too dry here for them. Maybe you've discovered a rare one.
ReplyDeleteI have no spice plants, but this one of yours is very pretty.
ReplyDeletethis flower isn't common here so i don't really know much about it until after seeing this post
ReplyDeletei've never seen violets in all my life. thanks for sharing/showing us these photos :)

ReplyDeleteHave not seen these colors before...
they look so delicate, virginal even!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen violets in that colour. They are so pretty, almost ethereal.
ReplyDeleteDelightful that these beautiful white violets came to you along with the chive plants. :D
ReplyDeleteThey are very pretty and different. So gentle looking.
ReplyDeleteI snapped some at my daughter's home. She has the purple, lilac, and whites. I just have purple. They are resilient too as her children run all over them. :-)
ReplyDeleteYou did an amazing job of capturing them as they are so small. I was lying on the grass to take their pic. :-)
The flowers are really pretty. I really love the color of them too.
ReplyDeletehow beautiful
