Wood violet is the state flower for Wisconsin.
It grows in woodlands and meadows in the eastern United States and is blooming now in the woods and grassy areas around my house.
They are one of the early spring flowers that I look forward to as the woods begin to turn green after a long winter.
Violet blossoms are edible and a few years ago I picked a bucket full and made violet jelly RECIPE It had a sweet floral taste and looked beautiful in the small jars that I used.
Wild violets are considered an invasive perennial, but I happen to find them delightful and enjoy having them turning my landscape purple with their prolific blossoms.
I have childhood memories of picking violets that were growing beside the sidewalks as I walked home for school and stopping by my grandmother's house to bring her a bouquet.
Occasionally you can find patches of white violets and I have also seen yellow and pink.
Rose's are Red
Violets are Blue
Honey is Sweet
And so are you
