HAPPY... Violets

 

"Doing what you like is freedom.

Liking what you do is happiness."

Frank Tyger

 

 

The viola is a large family containing 500 species, they are on record in Greece from the 4th century B.C.

Later in Europe, it was discovered that a plant similar to a viola grew in open areas.

The plant found mostly in fields and amongst rocks in the Alps, hence Alpine.

It became known as a wild pansy (French: pensée). It might have been a romantic Frenchman who 'named' it...

A pensée can be a thought or a saying, short or it can be as long as a paragraph, a page, a poem!

Maybe he thought of his loved-one, dried one amongst some book he carried? Juste une pensée... lol.

These delicately fragrant flowers come in a wonderful variety of colours.

The dark centres in some flowers are thought to resemble little faces.

 

These are a smaller variety that I have in the garden, I could not resist photographing them in the studio...

As always, thank you for your lovely comments and thoughts, M, (*_*)
