| Hi Yasuko, Good to hear from you, especially with news of new flowers opening - always a cheery sight. Of my Japanese violets:
Today, the first flower opened on my Viola mandschurica. V. chaerophylloides was a few days earlier.
Both of these are in a cold greenhouse. Your photo makes the plant look very lush - good enough to eat! |

| Hello Mike, Your Viola is blooming too!
In my neighbour there (I guess it) is V.mandshurica. I don't notice if it is flowering now or not... I have to check tomorrow.
Which color in your V. chaerophylloides? Mine was very pale pink.(it is gone...) 
You can see only the violet is blooming. |

| My V. chaerophylloides flowers are pink and white. |

Hello Yasuko,
Thank you for your lovely photos. I agree with Mike, your violets do look good enough to eat! Is there a tradition in Japan of using violet blossoms and leaves for culinary purposes? |
