Blue! Gentle cousin of the forest-green, Married to green in all the sweetest flowers Forget-me-not, the blue bell, and, that queen Of secrecy, the violet: what strange powers Hast thou, as a mere shadow! But how great, When in an Eye thou art alive with fate!
John Keats

The Common Dog~Violet
(Viola Riviniana)
The Common but beautiful Dog-Violet can be spotted in habitats from woodland to grassland, hedgerows to pastures. I have a woodland and meadow full of these and its just so beautiful ~ KissThePixel2019
Xylocopa violacea, the violet carpenter bee, is the common European species of carpenter bee, and one of the largest bees in Europe.
Like most members of the genus Xylocopa, it makes its nests in dead wood. It is not particularly aggressive, and will attack only if forced to.
Violet carpenter bees hibernate overwinter and they emerge in the spring, usually around April or May. Hibernation is undertaken by the adults in wood where there are abandoned nest tunnels. In the late spring or early summer, they may be seen around searching for mates and suitable nesting sites. After mating, the gravid females bore tunnels in dead wood, which is where the name "carpenter bee" comes from, although old nest tunnels may be used.
Like other solitary bees, the female creates the nest alone. The eggs are laid within a series of small cells, each of which is supplied with a pollen ball for the larvae to feed upon. The adults emerge in late summer then hibernate until the following year.
Violets are one of the first flowers to bloom when the astronomical calendar still marks winter: they are an announcement of spring, a sign of rebirth.
Thank you for stopping by.
I am having a tough time with the computer so please forgive me. I can't seem to invite. I am using my daughter's computer now.

African violets are one of the world's most popular houseplants and for good reason. These compact, low-growing plants flower several times a year, and they are available in a multitude of leaf forms and colors.

Il y a des moments comme ça, suspendus, où j'ai juste envie de regarder la lumière.

My yard (lawn) is carpeted with these tiny little Violets. Some solid purple and most like this one. It's a Very good excuse for not doing the first cutting of grass. After these bloom, there are the buttercups. I can delay cutting for almost a month on these excuses alone! Because once the mowing commences, it doesn't end until late November. Yuck! Had a wonderful day out with my travel buddy Anita yesterday and hope to have many photos to share with you all soon. Like how Anita finally got what was coming to her...... etc. LOL It was a Funtabulous , extremely tiring 11 hour day! :)
This amazing parrot is very difficult to find and even more difficult to photograph, they always flew from one palm tree to another and always landed on the tops of the tallest trees.
It's a Lory endemic to the North Moluccas.
The image was captured on a grey and somewhat rainy day.

The first violet of 2022 turned out to be a white one. I've known it as a harbinger of spring in classic poems but
I just learned that Australia used to have a 'Violet Day" to remember the fallen soldiers of World War I.
From now on, I'll think and take a moment to grieve about the victims of war whenever I see one of these lovely little flowers.
The autumnal anemones have their last show-up with full blossoms these weeks in the garden.
Die Herbstanemonen zeigen sich in diesen Wochen noch zum letzten Mal in voller Blüte im Garten.

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...
Soon back in the garden.
As always, thank you for your lovely comments and thoughts, M, (*_*)
