They may be gone for good...which reminds me, perhaps I should get some replacements!<BR/>I'm starting to think about the Botanical Gardens in my area too, and all that our area has to offer.<BR/>Beautiful photos!Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12844013803699228989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3944937432345427996.post-84297862132487270772009-02-12T15:41:00.000-05:002009-02-12T15:41:00.000-05:00Hi Tina,lol, I do have violets. The two violets we...Hi Tina,<BR/><BR/>lol, I do have violets. The two violets we have here on our farm are the Marsh Violet and the Early Blue Violet (V. palmata). V. palmata looks a lot like a solid-colored Birdsfoot Violet. We didn't have the Common Blue Violet here, but I transplanted some from my husband's grandmother's garden! I love them, I have to admit, and I don't care how much they spread. I'm too busy trying to escape from the Trumpet Vine and Japanese Honeysuckle that entwines around my ankles if I stand still long enough to weed! <BR/><BR/>Our Botanical Garden does sell plants, from spring until late fall. They have a big plant sale early spring, which I haven't attended because it's a zoo, and then after that they have plants out and a cash box for people to pay on the honor system. They sell some really nice plants, like Spicebush, Mapleleaf Viburnum, Iris brevicaulis, and Trout Lily.<BR/><BR/>I think I need to be more careful not to cover the Scorpion-Weed seeds. They have self-sown over a large area in the Botanical Garden and are supposed to be easy to get started.sweetbayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06248743114944736346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3944937432345427996.post-90673410790082516382009-02-12T15:24:00.000-05:002009-02-12T15:24:00.000-05:00Hi Tyra,No, I took those pictures last April.

Be very happy you don't have violets in your garden-they love the grass:( Does your Botanical Garden also have plants sales? I have yet to visit our local one on the plant sale days, but have it is good.tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415302577518111227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3944937432345427996.post-60743405003526416692009-02-12T13:38:00.000-05:002009-02-12T13:38:00.000-05:00Wait a minute these are not blooming now are they?...Wait a minute these are not blooming now are they?<BR/>Lovely post with so many gordeous flowers.<BR/><BR/>TyraTYRA Hallsénius Lindhehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04111758517855490413noreply@blogger.com
