As you know, I adore sweet violets. I am sorry that you've already seen these recently but I thought I'd share a few more pictures for my Flower of the Week series. Violets don't last long (3 days) but they are so worth it for their fragrance and charm. I like to leave their stems extra long for a wild look.
P.S. Here are some other posts I've written about violets.
I really love the casual wild look of the flowers in the vintage milk bottle(?). Really very beautiful.
really really pretty. You’ve inspired me to go out and get some flowers for the apartment today!
So pretty.
An English perfumier does a scent called Violets, I am sure you would love it. I prefer Bluebell myself. The Name of the company is Penhaligons.
that looks so sweet
I love violets too!
Violets are my favourite too, but it’s no surprise, my name is Violet. 😛
These are beautiful – did you pick them somewhere? I don’t know if we can get those in the UK. I’ve been going crazy with daffodils instead.
beautiful!
Such a pretty little display!
ah, violets. So lovely. If memory serves, Henry Irving and Ellen Terry gave violets, sort of a calling-card flower
I love violets! Just yesterday I bought the loveliest solid french violet perfume. le sigh!
I love violets too! Plus purple is my favorite color! I love the way the flowers are arranged. My imagination takes me to a beautiful sunny day, where flowers surround, and the desire to pick a few, is just irresistible! Thank you for your post! Isn’t spring just wonderful?
Love these photos. Violets were always my favorite ever since I was little–I’d collect postcards with paintings of violets. Your photos remind me of them. So pretty.
Oh so beautiful – I love the idea of a flower of the week! Are these annual or perennial? Maybe I’ll plant some.
