Any moment now she will wake! Each day I check the garden peering from my window into the shady places where she grows hoping to see her blossoming purple flowers, a sure sign of Spring. I love this sweet powerful little plant, resplendent with the loveliest little flowers full of gorgeous aroma. She is a good friend I look forward to spending time with each and every Spring.

I can’t wait for violets either!! The leaves are growing well now……
The anticipation is palpable!
I love that you used “resplendent” to describe ‘her.’ Very sweet
I do love violets so very much… I had to even bestow the name on one of my babies who seemed to have some of that special violet energy.
Love it
