Too bad they're not fragrant.

Take care :-)

As you can see in the images posted, the white-flowered violets seem to predominate. But there are plenty of "blue" ones there, too - they just don't show up in the photos.

Displays such as this of Viola sororia are common in this area during the early spring. I know of a local hillside where there must be hundreds of square yards of violets in bloom in some years. This violet adapts very well to growing in mowed grass. During the summer you will have to look hard to find a violet leaf, but as the spring floral display shows, they are there in numbers!

We usually think of them as being not fragrant, and compared to V. odorata they are not. But if you pick a thick bunch of flowers, you will notice a soft, floral fragrance.
